Hello,

Im thinking of breeding some SHCT's next year and im looking for a mentor preferbly with msn Im . all that i would need would be to ask you questions and for the first couple of years ask you what a approx value for a gecko would be .

Honestly I think your best bet would be to poke around some classifieds websites and see what everyone else is charging, and why. More orange, more expensive... more CT, more expensive... etc. Good Luck~

yeah I understand that Im just trying to figure out the difference I was told both my 40 & 50 percent SHCT were worth around $170 how can this be ? shouldnt the 50 be worth more then the 40 ? so I am trying to figure out how much of an increase you add for 10%

That depends... I have 2 males that hatched this year, both are "keepable". The first male is MUCH brighter than the second but he has less of a CT; therefore I would price him higher if I were to sell him because he is a deeper shade of orange. The second male would be almost as highly priced because of his 'little-above-average' color and bloodline, and his larger CT. It really just all depends.
Now if both of your leos exibit equal coloration and one has a larger CT, then that's when I would start to wonder...

In regards to pricing, they're only worth what someone is willing to pay.

You can place them at whatever price you desire; if no one wants to pay that price, you'll eventually have to lower it to move them out. Good luck!

thats also one of my probs I dont know what people would normally pay for a SHCT

For me, it depends on who the animal came from (HISS, Urban, etc) and the quality of the parents. Bigger names will get a higher price for their animals because they already have a name established.
