How much?

[ssscales]

What is the price tag you would pay for a set of corns like these:

1) Adult Okatee
2) Adult Normal
3) yearling Ghost
4) Yearling Snow

[marisa]

1) 100-200 depending on qaulity. Okeetees with THICK black borders are my favs, and if I found an adult I MIGHT pay up to 200 but more like 150.

2) 60-100.
3) around 100...probably a bit more depending on qaulity.
4) 100 roughly give or take a few bucks.

That's what I would be willing to pay anyways. I often am willing to put out more than what others think something is worth though, especially if its higher qaulity, something I badly want, or easily attaintable...as in I might pay more to be able to just walk down the street and pick it up over shipping it or searching it out.

Thanks, I am considering trading one of my Bloods for the set of corns described above.

[marisa]

Well prices in the states are different than here. Personally I am not sure if the above snakes are worth a Blood python in USA markets, BUT if you want the four corns more than the blood, it is worth it.

I wasn't sure either, a female Blood like mine goes for $125-$175 on average.

Price depends a lot on whether they are male or female. Adult female normals or okeetees would run $100US - I would put the value of them the same because without a picture to establish the Okeetee as outstanding there are many normals that are given the label without any real added value. The ghost or snow yearlings would be between $45-$65 USD - this is just based on what I have seen on price lists from American lists. Males tend to be quite a bit less and as with any adults for sale - a lot depends on how much you trust the vendor.

Thanks, I've had Boas for 10 years, never dealt with corns.

[Katt]

I say keep the blood. Even though I love corns. In the long run, your blood will be worth more.

Actually if you really like the snakes he has to offer, then do it. You shouln't see it with a price tag like this. Check the sex if you want to reproduce them. But if you only want them cause you like them, then do it.

I'll have to think about it, thanks everyone.

Well, the trade has changed. This is where I am at now:
2 - Adult Normals
1 - Hatchling Ghost
1 - Hatchling Snow
1 - Adult Grey Banded King

This for my female is CB, 2 years old, 3-1/2FT Blood. What do you think? Here is a pic of the female blood I have left after selling a pair.

It all depends on what you plan to do, but overall I agree with Katt - keep the blood - none of the corns you are getting will be that easy to turn over (despite what their 'value' may be) - they are just too common. The hatchlings would only be worth about $US 25 each.

If you are considering breeding corns it would be better to sell the blood and buy corn morphs that are more interesting (and marketable) than these - especially if you don't know the sex of the corns. The greyband would have quite a limited market up here - not sure about in your area - again only worth getting if you really want one.

That is a really nice looking blood - I expect it would be easier to maintain her than to set up for a group of colubrids.

With the new "deal" I agree with Mary and Katt. Keep the Blood.

I had her in a threesome, but sold a pair. I would like to trade her for either some boa morph, JCP, Coastal carpet, or look into some Kings. I wasn't really looking at Corns till this offer came up, I didn't know what I was being offered and if it was worth it.

[Invictus]

I absolutely love corns. I have many. Like, too many.

That being said, keep the blood.

I'm not going to accept the corns. I'll trade for some boa morph, JCP, Coastal carpet, or some Kings.
