Price drop every year, it's just a fact of life. Depending on who you buy from and the quality of the animal there will be a range in prices.

Shalene,
It isn't a bad price a little high maybe. Likely what that person paid for it, that being said how healthy is it and how well has it been kept? Buying an older snake sometimes comes with troubles as well. I know there were a few pastels around on sunday I thought I saw one Greg Hekburt that look quite nice for 120$. Greg is a great guy and breeds good quality animals I have seen one of his adult pastels and she is quite a sweet. I think XtremeXotics had one or two but i wasn't looking for pastels so I can't say for sure.

This pastel is almost super-looking or visual hypo in the head and blushing on his back. Also, bright yellow and dark black! Very nice snake!

I really don't have too big of a desire to get a pastel, I guess I just get excited at the thought of buying any snake. To me it's all in the looks; well I guess that's most people, haha. Personally I think spiders are the most gorgeous and can't wait to get a couple. Like I said, I just like knowledge, I want to know the most I can about them all. I have a feeling it will be a never ending journey of learning. I just love how everyone on here is so helpful and kind, regardless if a question has been asked a billion times. Anyways, I am rambling, thanks guys!

get a pastel yellow belly...http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...-yellow-belly/ then die happy

You might like to look for reference at http://heckbertreptiles.com and http://www.thebrassgecko.com/ for maritime pricing also you can contact http://www.uniquexoticsonline.com/ they have more than is listed on the web site including a hot little bee I saw at the show. (little biter however sometimes they grow out of it sometimes not) It is hard to find the local sites but that is a start.

prices have come down in those 2 years obviously ;)

Thanks Alex!

No problem. Take a look at some lessers and mojave they are not overly expensive either and you can get them local, shipping can amp up the price so local is often cheaper. bumble bees are quite hot too I think Andrea has two males toward the end of the expo Rob was dropping the price a lot one is super clean one dark and interesting looking.

I paid more that he was asking because I only had $125 on me but I would have given $250 - $300 easily

Ok, I don't normally like blushing on a pastel, but she's doing it RIGHT! Damn, that's a nice snake...
