Bloodred prices?

phwyvern Aug 12, 2004 10:21 PM

I was showing some coworkers a few websites with all the different kinds of corn morphs during lunch today and one became quite interested in the look of the bloodreds and then asked about how much they run for and how hard she'd need to save up for one LOL.

I had no trouble finding price ranges for hatchlings, but since an older snake would be more suitable for this person I did have trouble finding a price range she could expect to see for a subadult or adult bloodred (either a regular blood red or an amel blood red). It just seems like everyone is selling hatchlings now rather than older ones since it is baby season after all.

I would agree that since Bloodreds are so hot, you might not find too many adults or subadults for sale. IF so, the pricing would be totally dependant on a number of things, but mainly the seller. Since hatchling bloodreds are selling for $50-75 dollars, I personally would be willing to pay no more than around $200 for a subadult to adult, depending on quality. But that's just me and I'm cheap.lol. I've seen some bloodreds that simply do NOT look anything but a normal with hints of red....they would obviously sell cheaper but really, really nice/classic bloodreds would be much more depending on the current market and availability. Now would be a good time to buy an older bloodred b/c the market is flooded with babies so people may have a harder time selling adults. If they are interested in a baby bloodred, I can recommend a breeder that has some that are feeding without any problems. Besides, 99.9% of the joy in owning a bloodred is watching the metamorphasis as it changes colors with each shed. (did I say that right?).lol

don't forget that ALOT of people are using bloodreds' genetics to create new morphs so you may be hard pressed to find a normal , older bloodred that is not het for anything... therefore you could expect to pay much, much more depending on what it's het for. Outcrossed bloodreds may be the cheaper way to go...just my thoughts.
