Which are rare?

When tesseras start producing combos (amel tessera, snow tessera, sunkissed, etc.), I expect they'll fetch a pretty penny for a while.

LOL - the thread's moved on since the original question, Chip. We're now on "How can I sell Normals & Amels for the most money?", via "How much can I get if I call my Amel something differerent?".
 
Kinda like you started this one, only do it again...
 
Don't get into corns for money...you may be disappointed. Do it for the love of the animals. Then, if you make money great, if not no big deal. Some years we do really well, some years we have medical bills and rows full of non-feeders. Its all worth it in the end when you can walk into your snake room, pull out a tube and just stare at these beautiful animals.

Charlie you cannot be in a thread and start a new thread.

You have to be in a forum, such as "Miscellaneous Corn Snake Discussions". Then look on the top left for the button that says "New Thread"

It'd be a fantastic space saver - if the tube was just as long as the snake, so that the head is at one end and the vent's at the other, so you can feed and water one end of the tube and have a bucket for the other end....

Granted, you wouldn't be able to see their pretty colours, so I wouldn't try it myself.

:D

As for the rare colours and patterns, if you're wanting to sell corns it might pay to breed what people in your area are willing to buy... and that's often NOT the expensive stuff.

Keep an eye on prices in your area, and visit local shops to see how fast they sell their stock and what colours sell the most animals. For example, in my area, Anerythristics and particularly Anery Stripes sell pretty well, so it makes sense for me to breed them. Amels and normals don't seem to sell as well, so my pairings are geared to avoid those two morphs. However, although I'd like to breed more multiple-homozygous animals, there's very little market in my area for corns that are going to cost more than £100. I keep an eye on the stock of my local shop, and see how long it takes (on average) from a new high-end morph arriving for it to sell. A trio of butter motleys priced at £135 were in the shop for eight months before someone bought the first one (and that was my boyfriend buying me a Valentine's present!) and the other two were there for a further three months.

There's a lot more buyers for a £25 snake than there are for a £125 snake.

You had me laughing at the tube thing...jeesh :laugh:

I agree, we sell snows and pretty stripes very regularly.

I cant believe butters sat that long! I just love them, am glad you got one! We've got lots of babies if anyone needs some!
