Snake Trades

We are frequently asked if we are willing to do a trade for one of our ball pythons for sale.  While doing trades is not our first priority we are always willing to entertain trade offers on animals.  In general we do not do trades for animals that we are just going to re-sell; what you have to trade will need to fit into our collection as a future breeder.  Our primary focus is breeding, not re-selling/flipping.  We avoid re-selling animals because it becomes increasingly difficult to stand behind the animal being sold.  This is not a knock on the quality of other breeder’s production.  It simply means that we prefer to only sell our own production.  From time-to-time we do make exceptions to this policy but they are just that: exceptions.

So when will we be interested in a trade?  We are most interested in doing trades for animals that will fit into our own breeding projects; animals that we intend to keep and raise to be breeders.

Specific animals that do interest us:

  • Any multi-gene females that include the yellow belly gene
  • Animals carrying the Mystic or Phantom gene
  • Animals carrying the Special gene (Crystal stuff)
  • Multi-gene females carrying the Fire gene
  • Super Stripes
  • Pumas or Het Pumas
  • Animals carrying the Champagne gene.

At this time we are not likely to be interested in trading for any of the following:

  • Normal ball pythons of any size or quantity
  • Commonly available single-gene codom/dominant males (pastels, spiders, mojaves)
  • Commonly available single-gene codom/dominant females (pastels, spiders, mojaves)
  • Ghost males
  • Caramel albinos
  • Normal hets or possible hets
  • Anything other than ball pythons
