Is this kingsnake below a good trade for 2 or 3 healthy crested geckos?

What is the sex of the kingsnake and its age?

Same Qs for geckos?

With all things considered, and me knowing nothing...I'd jump on the geckos!

Then, I'll guess the snake is roughly 2-2.5 feet long. A yearling? Maybe worth $50...and baby geckos are usually $25-50 for babies. So, if you could trade in your cal king on 2-3 cresteds, you'd be doing very well.

No problem-o!

Let us know what you end up doing.

I was going to mention that most petstores don't allow trades, or do them. And, if they do, they usually only give you less than 1/4 of what they'd sell it for in trade. And, they'd probably sell it for around $100, they're baby geckos are probably $100, and they'll give you $25 for the snake...that is if they are like the stores here. BUT, if they are willing to trade 2-3 geckos for the snake, that would be great!

Hmmm...Gekko gecko and Rhacodactylus ciliatus would make an interesting mix...but seeing as they are so seperated genetically, I don't think it would ever be possible. I think the closest we can get is the dalmation patterned crested. But, a tokay with crests would be awesome. :cool:
