^Ask him^ about the value of that particular type.
There are wildly differing prices depending on the color morph, rarity, the locality, etc etc.
I only have some poor sad slobs I took from bad situations and except for the old Arabesque Boa boy, mine are just pet price snakes.
It’s a wild type pattern, nothing particularly special about it. I’d say that animal is probably worth $200-$400 in the trade. Ban them and the value will go up to thousands of dollars.
