I just wanted to say, as someone who recently went through the process of finding a "starter morph," that a pair of 100% het pieds can be found either on the classifieds/web or at a reptile show for 1200-1400 if you keep your eyes open.

Of course one must be careful about scammers but that's an entirely different topic altogether...

I'm sure you are right, however from my point of view, I wouldn't buy hets unless they were a) from a very well known breeder or b) from someone I know (so I could beat the crap out of them!). For that, I would be willing to pay more. You get what you pay for - but that is my opinion. =)

No doubt. Buy your hets from someone reputable, not Joe Schmo at your local reptile show.

I definitely agree with both of you... with so many scummy people in this industry (not to say there aren't a ton of great people too!) you must be careful when making any sort of transaction, especially with hets. A little research, which IMO should always involve asking for references (and don't get lazy either- follow up on the references people give you!), will go a long way towards protecting your investment/purchase.

If you're looking for good priced het piebalds I found some here:

And! He's a reputable breeder. :)

Well I started out with a Het pair for albino , now I'm looking at maybe getting a pastel in Daytona. Then depending where I am with my other two project's I'm going to get a pair of het pied's.
