Unfortantly I'm gonna have to down sizeD: I will be moving and i think its better and easier if i sold some of my lovely leos. The pet store offered to buy them off me but idk what prices to give him I'm gonna offer up 5 for sures.
1.0 Mack snow Het bell 40g
0.1 Hypo snow ph RAPTOR(possibly gravid) 74g
0.1 Jungle Tremper(possibly gravid) 64g
0.1 Eclipse het tremper 67g
0.1 Mack snow bell albino(possibly gravid) 50g

i said possibly as they look it but I'm no way skilled enought o know 100%. the wieghts are over a month old too im sure they all have gained.

the pics are older but you get the jist of there look. The eclipse has a bit of a carrot tail now.

Idk what a good price would be for all them as I've never sold a gecko beforeXD other then a jungle male who i gave for 25. I'd rather ship them to good homes but shipping isnt a option now as its to cold and the owner does have experince with reptiles so.. any thoughts on a good price(s)??

Find out what the petshop sells them for and ask for 35-40% less than they sell them for. Remember they need to make a profit too, and I would wait to sell them until the females you think might be gravid have proven to NOT be gravid or have laid.

no no he wants to use them for his own breeding stock and then sell the babies at his store. He currently has a patternless, snow, and blizzard baby leo(there like a month old! so freakin tiny!!) and is asking 50 each. Mine are all breeding age, weight, and lol some maybe proven very soon. I just dont know whats a good price to say without charging a ton but also not ripping myself off. @.@ and he really wants them.

I NEED to the little male gone>.> I need the room asap so even a price on him would be great. He maybe proven with the snow bell. He was temp sexed as a girl but the little booger suprised me.

I would suggest going to the top of the page and looking at some sponsors available prices for comparable leos. I think it's really the only fair way to gauge fair market price honestly. Then I'd charge an extra 20-30% for the gravid ones. How do you not know for sure if they're actually gravid? Did you intentionally breed them or were they living with the male?

The snow bell was living with the male, he showed no signs of being a male(viberating tail, nipping her, ext) so i figured he was a she till about a month ago when i did sex him(again he was temped sexed as a girl and none of the others i bought durned out male; just him and he's not very budgie but he does have the V). I say maybe as it looks like it to me(i think i can see the eggs when i do the lift by the base of the tail trick) and the hypo snow has been bred to my tremper snow to prove her out if she's het tremper or not(66%ph tremper 33% ph eclipse) She's had eggs appear then be re-aborbed but this time she's been digging and there still there so i say possibly for her too. She's done this twice to me.

That's what i've been doing but since im a noob at all this and have no reputation is it alright for me to do that?

Ah I see. That makes sense :) Then I still stand by myprevious pricing ideas. I know in the rabbit world, if you have a good show rabbit, it usually sells for anywhere from $50-$300 depending on the lines BUT if that rabbit is pregnant and you sell her pregnant the breeder usually will up the price by half. So a $50 rabbit is now a $75 rabbit.

true true hmmm I definatly will hold out on the possibly gravid ones and just sell the male for now. 40 to much? to little? maybe 50? if the snow bell does lay then he is proven(if there feritle) so that'd make him worth that much right? I paid 40 for him when he was a pip squeek month old hatching haha he's grown some but since he's been seperated from the female he's been off eating@.@ thus stunting his growth and worrying the heck out of me!

I think adults should be worth more than juvies honestly. Colors are true, sex is true, they're past the critical care stage. How old is he now?

Ok, this is what I would price those animals at. Retail price, with a buyer who is seriously interested:

1.0 Mack Snow het Bell -$50.00
0.1 Hypo Snow poss het Raptor-$65.00
0.1 Jungle Tremper-$50.00
0.1 Eclipse het tremper-$70.00
0.1 Mack Snowbell-$75.00

Unless you can garuntee they're gravid, I don't see it being a good idea to up prices based on that. Generally, you can start a bit on the higher side of price range and haggle it out a bit. That's how the reptile market works. Also, if he buys the entire group, I'd give him a group discount, say 10-20% off the combined cost.

But that's just my opinion.

Ummmm i think hes atleast 6 months but hard saying haha all mine are on the large sizes for there ages;D when i recieved him he was about 13 grams and since then he's just been a pain in the butt to get to stay eating and what not. He's just under 8 1/2 inchs long.

Thanks T-ReXx I'll run the prices by him see what he agrees too but i do know I'm not gonna be ripped off@.@ haha I'm gonna wait on the females and give up the male in the next couple days. I may choose to give up more but these guys are the ones that were on the lower end of my projects(minus the hypo snow ph RAPTOR; she's just mean with other females=-=) :main_thumbsup: anyone elses input would be great too.
