fire ball?

DomoneX · 08-12-12, 12:56 AM

one of my friends has offered me a female fireball that is about 400g about a year and a half old for 200 bucks. im not too familiar with this morph and how useful it is in breeding. i did some research on the price and it seems to be a decent price but i wasnt 100% and wanted to get a few more opinions.

If it really is a fire that's a good price, but its really small for a year and a half old.

That does sound like a nice deal, and If i'm not Mistaken FirexFire can produce leucistic Balls, but i will leave the genetic stuff to mykee or someone with more experience

this is the picture of the snake. looks pretty nice to me.

I am most certainly no expert on morphs but that looks like a normal to me

Its way too light to be a normal from what i've seen. I've compared it to other pictures of fires and it looks pretty similar.

Nope, its a fire. And yes, fire to fire gives you 25% at hitting a black eyed lucy.

So 200 is a pretty good deal for this girl?

mykee · 08-12-12, 02:58 PM

I persomally think fires are overrated, so I dont see the value, but if you're interested in it, it's not a bad deal.
As an educated buyer though, I would be concerned as to know why it's only 400g at 18 months old. That's about a third the size of a well-fed, healthy female ball python.
Me thinks that for $200 you're basically taking on someone else's bad eater that may take another 5 years to get to breeding size.

Im meeting up with her on Tuesday to look at it and get some more info on her. So im still not too sure if im going to get her or n
ot.

DomoneX · 08-12-12, 04:19 PM

I stand corrected she is a year old.

mykee · 08-12-12, 04:24 PM

Eh, better but still questionable.
My yearling females weigh between 650-900g.
