Morphs at petco?

The petco by my house just recently got a pastel and a mojave in. Now I'm not really a fan of petco but this one is pretty good with their reptiles.

They want $199 for the mojave and $149 for the pastel. The pastel is low quality but I really like the mojave and im thinking about buying him. I doubt anyone else will sense he is "angry" which I saw as kind of nippy but not as much as some baby ball pythons I've seen =P

So what do you guys think of the price and the color? I know a lot of how morphs are judged is personal preference and I personally do like him but I would like some opinions also or some pointers as to what to look for.

$200 is a good price for a mojave, especially if it's actually a female. If they just came in, they're probably okay, but still check eyes, belly, and vent. I like it, but the decision's up to you. It's probably nippy because it's stressed and in a (most likely) improper habitat with another snake. Get it home, let it rest and de-stress and it'll be okay.

All that really matters as far as looks is if you like how it looks.

It said the Mojo is a him. I would probably look elsewhere for a male mojo 200 for a male isnt worth it from petco. But the choice is completely up to you.
Also picture isnt showing up for me so I cant judge on its quality.

$200 for a Mojo is good for a pet store that generally sell normals for $50-85. He looks pretty good, and if you really trust their reptile dept go grab it....be sure to quarantine if you have others.

200 for petco is good, but you can get one for less from a breeder.

What everyone else said... $200 might be an ok PetCo price, but you'd do much better from a breeder. Also you run a lot higher risk of bringing home mites or other parasites buying from a chain store over a breeder. He does look pretty nice, but I'd pass personally...

Just for comparison, I picked up a proven breeder male mojo for $150 from a breeder in August... Just sayin...;)

A lot is hidden by fake plant, but he looks pretty good. If the OP can't get to a show it saves the $50 or so in shipping. I might not, but I've got the $$ and 3-4 shows I can make every year.

Daaaamn! Maybe not then......though me thinks you hit the lottery ($150 for a proven is nuts)

Everywhere I've looked recently had male mojos for at least $250! '11s, at that! Add in $50 for shipping and that's $300. You guys have to tell me where you can find mojos for under $250 because I want to get in on that.

I paid 100 for my 2011
