Yes but what morph.
What type are the parents, this will give you a clue as to what type the babies will be.

I'm guessing un known hets if any so possible looking at normals het amel and anery but could be a few surprises.
Best to wait and see what hatches. Normals don't sell for much at all. |

| i'd expect about £5 each in the current, flooded market as these are base morphs and particularly common........factor in the price of a tub for each hatchie, at least 3-5 pinkies each before selling, buying a heatstrip and another thermostat to heat them, wasting food for non-feeders etc and you're running at a mahoosive loss! |

| I have to agree with above. I sold mine for £5-10 last year. Wasted so much food on the fact some where not eating and the ones that were eating, nobody wanted. Also I never considered they took up so much time really, checking daily/every 2 days on waters and poos... nightmare. |

and there's the share in Charmin (or any other kitchen roll brand) that you need.......damn messy hatchies needing cleaning out every day........
just as an estimate though:
heat strip £25
stat £25
tubs £15
water bowls £5
hides £5
kitchen roll £5
pinkies £25
electic £???
TOTAL £110 + and if you can't shift them on quick the costs just keep going up and up and up...... |

| id think you may get a few snows aswell, because amel cannot produce black pigment and anery cannot produce any reds, put them together and you get snakes that cannot produce any pigment (snow), i think, please correct me if i am wrong |

amel x anery = normals het for both, To get snows out both snakes would have to have both amel and anery genes, its not impossibole though as both these genes are probably the most common. |

Funny you should say that about the kitchen roll!
I'm considering now switching mine to Megazorb (I buy it anyway for the mice) as using even cheap brand shops own kitchen roll is starting to work out quite pricey. |

Or more if they fancy knocking over or taking a dip in the water bowl or moving the loo rolls into it... grrrrr XD
I cannot remember how much it cost me for mine though, I only had 7 babies and it costs more than I though, and that was with using loo rolls and takeway tubs/feeder tubs, bottle caps and loo roll.
Although you could sell the eggs to a petshop, you would get half the money that they sell them for if they can shift them or even want them :( |

| I paid £30 for my normal a couple of months ago from a reptile shop. The nearest place to me is now selling them for £40. And there is another place near me trying to sell normals for £65!! I did mention to them that they've got 2 hopes, and it ain't Bob! lol |

Yeah they did say they had to charge more because their breeder was charging them more. So why buy them? Surely you know they're just not going to sell at that price?? Feel so sorry for the snakes coz they are going to be living in tiny little tubs with very little comfort for a very long time I think...
Seems the going shop rate for normals round these parts is £30-£40. Cheaper to cut out the middle man and buy direct from a breeder obviously.  |

o.O;;; my gawd are they older though instead of younguns? I've seen shops trying to sell normal adults at £65 and when it doesn't work then soon go dwon the £35... :( I think they will become reduced very soon when everyones hatchlings hatch... |

Petshop where I got Nimbus still has normals for £60 and amels for £70 :o (yes I paid £60 for my first ever coen, a normal lol)
He seems to have no trouble selling them at that price too which is odd as CPR is only an tram and bus ride away and they sell them at half that price but I guess people are lazy lol
He must be making a huge profit as he certainly wont be paying any where near that price when he buys them!!!
