These are for sale on Craigslist and I am considering them. I have no experience with these guys though I have read about their care. These are the only pictures I have so far but I asked for more. They are supposedly 1.2 and have been in captivity since 2008.

Are these Homes? What is a fair price to pay for them?

Thanks!

Look like homes to me. If they truly are LTC for almost 4 years and doing good. Id say around 400 for the trio. But you never really know with craigslist if the people are just saying that. They look kinda shy still. Those are some good looking ones though.

The one that is out, seems a bit dry. The fact only one picture is showing the actual animal, makes me think these are still really shy. Shy to me tends to make me think more recent captured animals. Now currently you can easily find them for under $50 as fresh WC. I may be a cheap person, but I would not offer more then $150 certainly not over $200 myself. Nothing is grabbing me as special about them, nice yes, but not "special".

They are asking $140 for them. They are about three hours away from me so it is a long drive if they do not look good.

Thanks for all your advice!

At $140 they would be okay. Just keep in mind, they may need some extra work and TLC. Pictures can only tell you so much.
