How does age of BTS effect pricing

Postby Mr_Dunev » Fri Apr 05, 2013 2:38 pm

Just curious on how the age of a skink effects its pricing. What would the price difference be for for the same lizard at different ages? Baby? 6 months? 1yr? 4yrs? etc.

I am sure there is no SET pricing standard, but just a general guide would help.

Thanks,
Lucas

In my area, an adult is about 50$ more compared to a baby of the same species

Around my town everyone seems to ask $200-$250, regardless of age. But it is mostly adults, you rarely see babies locally. I have only seen two before and they were at the higher end being $250.

Sometimes, on FaunaClassifieds.com, you will find pairs of Irian Jaya/Merauke for almost the price of one. I have seen it a couple of times, I figured they were in need to find a new home, but I agree, I SEE on average about a $50 difference.. don't hold you breath on that! :P
