Size to sell

[frogman]

I have a ton of axie babies that are getting pretty big. I was wondering what an appropriate size I should start selling them at would be. They are 1-1.5" right now. And what price do these colors usually sell for. The prices labeled next to the colors is my thought on what prices might be. Do they sound reasonable or no?
I have
GFP Gold-$35
Gold-$25
GFP Wild Type-$25
Wild Type-$15

Thanks

Evan

They sound about right for here in Aus (not pet shop bought) but i can't speak on behalf of the US

When they have grown legs and/or are taking frozen food, usually. You can look back through the sales section to see. The prices are normal.

Yeah those prices sound about right.
I usually start selling mine when they're at least 3 inches long.

Thanks here is my biggest wild one.

Aww. You're making me think about getting another one.

Just finished cleaning all 159 of them. Each in their own container. Also I just fed them. It is sad that the obesity problem in America is even affecting the young ones. Think I'm gonna cry

Oh and by the way, haven't gone insane yet since this is my first time raising larvae, Score!

And the same wild type larvae now. So happy to see hind legs coming in soo well, so far not bad for a first time rookie breeder. I went from 215 eggs to the now 159 growing larvae. The majority of loss was dud eggs, I have also had a few larvae deaths. Next time I think I will only raise 100, I have kept a steady schedule and it has really kept me sane. I would like to thank you all for helping me start on the beginning of a new business.

They are not very good but here is a pic of the golds under a black light. They glow so bright.

Another thing about pricing is that I was at a Petstore the other day that have a breeding pair of axolotls and they have juviniles that are for sale. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the juviniles wild types selling for $50 dollars, and they actually sold some. It is amazing what some people will pay for something they probably don't know a thing about caring for.

I just got all the shipping bags today. I plan to put up an add on the 24 of December. I just want the legs to grow in a little more. My biggest one can now be called a juvinile.

I would wait on shipping until after the Christmas Rush of mail is over.

 

[frogman]

I will not be shipping for about a week after. Just taking orders. I will probably ship on Mondays and Tuesdays.
