Need help valuing my boa

"Worth" is what someone is willing to pay for something
Set your price,wait for market response,continue lowering price until "its worth it"
to someone willing to spend said amount.

Value is subjective. The value you hold on the animal, the general 'market value' and what someone is actually willing to pay.
With boas a lot of things go into the value such as the sex of the animal and overall attractivness, color and pattern. Other things can add value such as lineage/parent/breeder information.
Good luck!

"The following is just an example and not for recommended prices but to show how pricing is not set in stone!"
For example, lets say I produce 6 sunglow boas,1 looks plain and not very impressive 4 are nice average looking, one and 1 is mind blowing in every way.
The market shows they are going for "we will say for arguments sake" $500 on average, the unimpressive on you may never sell at that price, you might say $250 would be a better price, and you would be crazy to sell the spectacular one at that price, so you might price that one at $750.
These are the same animals of the same morph but not carrying the same value, Some would sell them all at $250 to get rid of everything others would put them all at the $750 mark but most would put them between the high and low and people will ask if you will take less. I would personally put them at higher price, and ask OBO, "Or Best Offer"
Another thing you must take into consideration, what is the animal worth to you? is it a cherished pet? or is it just something you just want to get rid of?
If you price high you may not sell it but on the other hand those that consider it will likely be more serious about the animal, on the reverse if you price it low to go fast some people will just buy it because it is cheap.
One more thing to consider, is the market flooded with them? check multiple snake classified sites and if there is a ton of the animals you are trying to sell you will have a ton of competition and the competitors could cause you to change your prices accordingly. If you are the only one selling something you can pretty much set your own price,
Nothing here is meant to give any actual price or value on anything but more how to make your own value and decide for your self what your animal is worth, I hope this helps.
