Pastel?

I'm pretty sure this is a pastel, but just thought I would get some opinions due to the pic quality.

Not the best looking pastel but a pastel to boot. Id probably expect to pay around $300-$350 for that size.

There is a good looking female proven pastel on kingsnake.com right now for $500 +shipping.

Definitely Pastel, but very browned out! I personally would not pay more than $200 for that one in particular because it appears to have a lot of scarring along the back and is not the best example, in my opinion. :confused:

I didn't even notice the scars, so thank you for pointing them out.

True but if its female could be useful in breeding. Id say offer them $200-$250 for it and use scarring as an excuse.. :)

No problem. As has been stated, scarring due to husbandry mistakes means she can probably still be used as a breeder but personally I would want a nicer kept snake if I were planning to use it in breeding projects, regardless of lower pricing due to the scarring. You get what you pay for and who knows how well that Pastel has been kept if it was allowed to become that scarred (could have been from a previous owner though).

It was from a previous owner. Apparently the poor thing was left in with a live ASF for a while.
It has been well taken care of since then apparently. Sheds well now, but is still on live, multiple mice per feeding. Price is def. good, they are asking $150. Downsizing.

Ill buy it.

ASF? Is it a picky eater? Good price, but I'm a nut about only buying GREAT eaters, ha ha!
