is it wrong/rude/unbecoming/STUPID to ask another breeder if he/she is looking for a specific morph that you have to porentially trade for another?

Just look at his snakes and when ya see the one he's lookin' to cross one like you have with say, "Hey, I got one that would go REAL good with that ," and see where it gets ya. Couldn't hurt, and your aren't forcin' his hand. Just my thoughts.

Thank you Tosha did you see the NEWWWWWWW ghost

I have seen plenty of ads people have put up indicating they are willing to trade what they are selling for something they are looking for. If a breeder has something you would like, certainly feel free to contact them and ask if they would trade it for something you have (and are willing to trade). Most breeders certainly won't take offense at the question (and if they did, I probably would find another breeder to get what I want from).

I traded two baby crested geckos for silkworms and some frozen adult mice...I needed the feeders, she wanted the babies, so it worked great for both of us.

90% of the trades we did this year were done that way, worst they can say is no. Just ask would you be interested in ????? Most breeders are imune to the question and i personally have never took ofense to any questions like that. I feel any professional business would just look at it as in oppurnunity and if they are not interested i dont think they would be offended in anyway.
Just my opinion...
