Dont know if I should

Hey everyone yesterday I came across someone on craigslist selling two 2011 ball pythons male and female both pastels and he said there both possible het ghost and ive been wanting a female pastel for awhile but I wanted an adult one but if these pastels prove out it would be amazing because I could get super pastel orange ghosts and eventually killerbee ghost because I also have a spider.but I just dont know because like I said I want an adult female but he would sell me both pastels for $150 so its like a cant let this deal pass type of thing.


Here are there pics

Some things to consider.. are they brother and sister? do you trust him enough to believe they are possible het. ghost? Also they are both possible het so if one is and the other isn't, it will take you a while to find out if either or them are het ghost.

Then again, that is a decent price for what i would say are two very good looking pastels, so in the end its up to you. I just wouldn't bank on the idea of getting POGs out of it. Also if they are brother and sister I don't think you can breed them (with good results anyway). :twocents:

Edit: also keep in mind breeding size pastel females usually go for at least $500-$650. (From what i've seen lately anyway)

Hm...tough decision, those are some nice looking pastels though. I would buy them just for their looks and $150 dollars is a great deal.

The other side of this would be that there is something possibly wrong with them which is why this person wants to get rid of them for a cheap price.

If you were to buy them, definitely inspect them and possibly ask to see the rest of this person's collection and see if this person is actually keeping their animals right. If you see things that are a cause for alarm, then this person is probably just trying to make a quick buck and not it for the actual welfare of his animals and the hobby...and I definitely would not want to support that.

Yeah i know that its a long shot if there het ghost and for two pastels male and female for $150 even if there not het ghost is kinda a deal to me since i bought my adult male pastel for $150 its just a hard decision it would be cool to try and prove them out and i do want a female pastel but like i said i wanted an adult female to breed to my pastel or spider the not knowing thing sucks lol

Well i would probably get them just as pastels (without considering the poss het ghost). I love how bright and yellow they are. Again, you will spend at least around $500 on a adult female pastel.

Yeah he is also selling a male mojave,male black pastel and an albino but i just got a mojave and there all kinda priced alright the mojave is $150 and the black pastel is $150 also i dont know how much the albino was but he sent me pics of them all.He was selling them for $100 each but i talked him into doing it for $150 but i do understand where your coming from if hes not taking care of them well and just selling to make money because i do not want to support that

I just wish they were older or at least the female was because im impatient lol

I'm sorry, but does that look like the same exact snake at a different angle to anyone else? Compare the patterns...

I wouldn't make a commitment until you see these in person....

Doesn't the females back have longer stripes and the males is more of circles? Except for his tale..Im sure theres names for it not circles and stripes lol

I was mainly looks at the pattern close the the neck area, but now that I'm actually counting stripes and spots (lol) they do look different. Either way, I'd be sure to see these animals in person before making a definite decision.
