How much would you pay for a Kei?

Postby Bird_Brain » Fri Nov 23, 2007 8:18 pm

Ok, I have found a kei for sale taht is supposed to be CB from Jody Pieper of Jungle Shadows. It is about 1.5yrs old. Supposedly in perfect condition with the exception of about 2 inches of its tail missing (from cluchmate biting it off when young).

I am not really sure what the going price for Keis are since I never see them available. So I was wondering, basically how much you guys think this skink is worth.

Thanks
Brad

That name sounds really familiar... just can't remember if that's a good thing or not ;-)

You have me worried now. Can you elaborate more?

Do you have pictures? What proof does she have that he's captive born? Have you seen pictures of the parents? I bought Baylee from Greg for abou 80 but that was because he lowered the price for the winter and for forum members. Baylee is captive born. I purchased Cordy for around $200. She is a long term captive. What is she selling her's for?

I was thinking of buying one for $250, but ended up not getting it. I would ensure that its CB before purchase though. No fun dealing with a wild caught.

Yeah here is the ad. I thought the pictures looked familiar and found an ad several months ago. The person had this one that I am probably going to purchase and they also had KeiKei that I believe Dragontears purchased (I could be wrong about that though).

Here is a link to the ad. It has a link to a picture of the skink.

Im not too worried about it being CB or WC as I feel I have plenty of reptile experience to deal with either one.

Forgot to mention, it was going for $250 shipped, which we agreed on $225shipped.

And if you're still curious about cost (I forgot to write about that), I'm not sure I could put a price on an animal I really wanted -- Well, I guess I could. But I've never seen a Kei like the one on the top of the Kei page. If I saw one, I would have a hard time not spending a whole lot for it. And I don't even have room! :?

I completely understand what you are saying. That one is amazing. I personally love the kei in the picture that I believe belongs to Sheera (atleast that is whos name is on the kei page).

I paid $225 shipped for this one, which I dont feel is horrible for any bluey really.

I believe that kei is Sprout. Sheera came up to visit...maybe she took the picture or Sprout is climbing on her, but the skink is mine. ;)

If only I can find a Kei like that! Do you know if Sprout and Kei Kei are a pair yet?

Yep, that's Sprout -- Sheera took the photo. And you didn't pay a bad price at all. :cool:

not really...I havent seen anything to put Kei Kei in the boy category, so I'm still holding out hope that she's a girl.
