pastel price

I don't think it's rude to make a counter offer, but I just don't reply if someone tells me my prices are too high. I have no problem with holding onto females I can't sell...:D

As far as hatchling prices...it all depends on how they look with the pricing nowadays.

What is the going rate for proven breeders?
Hard for me to sell a female I can breed to a 3 gene snake and easily make way more.

Kind of rude I thought.....

Can anyone let me know some of the names of other reputable BP dealers. Looking at getting my first couple BP's.

Thanks

The other thing to remember is you are comparing the prices in CA to the prices in the USA Canada prices are higher. Just food for thought

Just my honest opinion on breeder females.

I guess as a small time breeder im different. I try to be competative with pricing to offer an excellent animal at a competative price. I would invite people to tell me im too high if I was. Simply put though he asked opinions on the price of a pastel female and I say Ive never seen one as high as $1500. I think thats a bit much. They may be in high demand (which I dont think they really are) but still I can go on kingsnake right now and find a breeder female for $500-$900.

So again my opinion but I would never pay $1500 for one.

I agree, you can't compare US prices to Canadian prices. And Markus Jayne is a very reputable breeder in Canada.

But check out Reptiles Canada, I'm sure you'll find a breeder pastel in the classifieds.
