So then it is possible to walk into a expo and walk away with a HIGH quality female pastel? Or is it a stretch?

Even if you don't plan on it, be prepared to keep all the babies you hatch out.
No it's not a stretch at all, there are plenty of nice pastels out there.

Absolutely it's possible. just get there first thing when the doors open. if a vendor has 5 pastels for sale the nicest one will be the first one gone.

Also keep an eye out online for breeders posting new babies as they hatch. Garrick Demeyer always has some nice pastels.

Keep in mind that it can be pretty tricky to choose a pastel that will stay yellow as it ages. Yes, there are signs to look for, but you really can't know until it's big. The only sure way to get a great pastel that keeps its yellow is to buy one that is already full grown.

Also, my husband and I got a ball python two years ago. We definitely did not want (or really have room for) more than one. Now, we have sixteen. Our good friends bought one of our normals from a clutch we had last year. Then they saw some morphs and decided they wanted two more. Now they want 'only five'. I am not saying you can't control yourself, but a LOT of people end up with more bps than they were expecting! If you really don't want that, its probably safest to just stay at one....:P

I know this is a super old post but OP if you're still out there I got my super pastel off craigslist for 100 bucks. HAVE FAITH OP you never know what your locals might be selling.
