I am looking at downsizing my leopards and wanted to know what pricing looks like. They range from 5-6 years old and honestly I’m terrible at sexing. I want to get rid of a for sure male so that would be my go to pricing. Thanks in advance! I’m in the US.

Are they Babcocki?
Males are much easier to find thrn females. A babcocki Male of the age you mentioned not proven around 300-350 proven maybe 400-450 That's how I would price mine. Positive female 500-600 proven female 700-800. The PP leopards are higher.
I have only sold 2 proven females and one female that wasn't proven.
I have a Male i rescued and rehabbed that if I sold would ask 500.00-600.00 for.

They are Babcocki not pp. If I post pictures on here can they be confirmed at this age? I have posted them before but always get an almost 50/50 response.

Pictures would help us help you determine a value. Shell quality, total size, and shell pattern, all play a role on the relative market value.

We can better sex them at this age then younger. Not always a sure thing. I had a leopard that all signs said female. He was 4 I think. She turned out time be a male.
