Would you risk it?

Im interested in buying a normal female that was supposedly with a hidden gene wama and platy daddy... Would you guys risk it? The breed said he witnessed copulation a month ago and said he would back one up before he ships.. What are the chances of hitting gold? Is it worth buying for the gamble or is it a shot in the dark for her to ovulate.. If it doesn't work out i would be paying $400 for a normal which wouldn't be the end of the world.

Have you seen the price of a HGW.
I CALL BS. IF ITS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBRABLY IS. DONT DO IT. If i had a lock with an animal of that value i wouldnt be selling for 400

Yeah definitely not going to go with it way too risky. Im sure shes going to reabsorb her follicles due to the stress of shipping and a new home most likely.

I bought a black pastel female and the breeder did me a solid and bred here to a platinum, she is still building. My thoughts are, I was buying her anyway so if she goes then cool. If not she will be bigger next year.

Hey Kyle, I have a hidden gene woma granite yb male and anything he breeds does not leave. I would rather keep a normal bred to him then sell her cheap. You wouldnt buy her for what I would ask. Sorry but if she is building its a paycheck waiting to cashed. In Mikes case, if I was selling you a morph female and you asked me to put a mid level male with it first I would. High end stuff is to be saved for your own projects.

and a price drop? what a joke!!!! Personally the fact that she was bred to 2 sires is what would ruin it for me. You couldn't sell anything that isn't lesser as a het platty because it may have been sired by the HG woma. I personally wouldn't buy a snake simply for what it may have been bred to, I only buy snakes that I want not for what may come from the possible breeding. If the breeder is good enough to pair something with before or after I decide I want that particular female, then it's just gravy on top. What Rob did for me and what Randy agreed he would do in the same situation, is the extra service that would keep me coming back to buy from them over someone else but not the reason I would have purchased in the first place.
