Radiate Tortoise price

[Radmaster]

Hi guys here are 3 choices of Radiates that are considered high yellow in my opinion, lets name them A, B, C from left to right, just wondering how much would you pay for each? I just want a reference so I can see if it's too pricey, thank you.

Prices here are probably different than prices in your country. Here babies typically sell for around $1000 U.S. dollars each. Older ones can run anywhere from $3500 to $6500 depending on size, sex, appearance and color.

 

[Radmaster]

how about these 3 specific ones? they are juveniles and lets say they are all males with these specific patterns how much would u think it will be rough guess

 

[Yvonne G]

I'd say those would probably be in the $2500 range.

 

[Radmaster]

Just to share I got these 3 rads available for me to buy , 1st one is - $6000 2nd- $4000 3rd - $ 5300

Do you think they ar over priced or should I go ahead with it? Also does high yellow rad produce high yellow babies or is it just a fluke?

Well, you don't have a known sex, that greatly impacts price. If it's for a pet, I guess that dose not matter. If you plan to breed them at some point the sex becomes more important. We also don't have a age or size, and the image has distorted their size as well. What market are you in?

So, based on this lack of information no matter the market you are in, there is no tangible basis for offering a reasonable price*.

As for which one to pick I'd go for "C". it has the most yellow head, and I have seen those with the brighter skin are much more uncommon than those with the high degree of lines in the shell.

One US based dealer refers to their lines of Geckos as living art, and that is a very good way to look at it. What is a painting really worth?

*Reasonable price is YOUR value on the animal, not the sellers. If your value is greater than the sellers then it's a great price. If you don't know how to sort out YOUR value, then don't buy art.

Prices listed are accurate for that coloration. Very unique color and pattern. Any would be a good choice in my opinion.

Any would be a good choice in my opinion.

~ If you like them and have the funding, get all three...they look great!

There always seems to be a shortage of males. As a wise Radiata breeder (Bill Z) once told me, you can never have enough males. You never know if any specific male is fertile. Females will almost always have follicles. Question is, do you have a male to get the job done.

Im getting this guy today, he is 5 inches, unknown sex. I included extra pics, I have the budget to get 2 but now all 3 so do u think $5300 for this is a good choice? HE looks the most Robust and strong with a high dome.

The 2nd guy I am planning to get is only 3 inches but this guy is extra high yellow. it only has 3 feet though... it has 4 legs but 1 foot is amputated due to infection 1 year ago, he is healthy not but do u think he is worth $ 6000, a few more pics here.

I wanted these radiates 3 years ago when i was in England, but the weather was not ideal so i decided not to get them, i just got bak to vietnam and is great here , go a huge garden but for now i put them in a 8ft x 8ft tortoise table full of grass and vegetation since they r babies + to keep them away from wild cats in the garden
