Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The question is...yes, there may be a handful of people out there willing to pay the full market value ($75 or more?) for it. But how long are you willing to wait until you find that person who A.) recognizes the value and B.) is in the market to buy? Also, how desperately do you need the cash?

Is $40 in the hand today better than waiting indefinitely for someone to pay $80?

There's no wrong answer...just gotta do whats best for you.

It's tough to get a good price for things which you don't really have a platform to sell.

I'd put it up on Craig's list and explain that it's a morph ect in the ad. Encourage people to make offers to see where the market is for your snake...

I would think $30-$50 depending on his coloration.

You'd get $50 for it in my neck of the woods. I paid $35 for an anery motley hatchling at an expo. I would have paid more for a young adult.

We paid a $100 for our proven pair of corns. Male is a bloodred motley and female is a bloodred stripped motley corns dont go for very much compared to outher species. Sorry not trying to break your heart but thats just a fact!

ya a normal motley just isn't worth that much here, if he had multiple hets, maybe, But a normal adult motley would go for about $60 here, especially unproven.

If I have time, when I sell things I usually start my price on the high end, then if I get no bites I lower it and so on.

Ya, me too. I sell higher end all year, then lower my prices at the shows to clear out and make space for new generations.

To me $0. Put him for sale at best offer, see what you get.

I would agree that the focus should be on finding a good home for the snake.
