Craigslist Lemon Pastel

Saw an ad for a lemon pastel, says it is Bell line male 900 grams for $100. Is this a good price? E-mailed the person, no pictures, no paperwork saying it is Bell line. As I am fairly new, wondering if you think this is worth going to look at? I am assuming that without paperwork, the claim to Bell line is pretty much worthless right?

I would say yah ... But the no picture thing is fishy. Have you ask if u kan go c it?

either way a male pastel up to breeding size is not a bad price for $100

Yah that's a great price for a breeder sized male but it is pretty sketchy just because it's from CL. Prices are pretty similar for all the different lines, so not knowing the line for sure I don't think would really effect what you could ask for the offspring.

Don't do it, that is a scam in one way or another. That snake is not worth $100, its worth at least $300 and the fact that he is selling it for that little just mean something is wrong. Whether it be a birth defect, or hes unbreedable, or he only eats teddy bear hamsters, etc. Don't do it and just wait untill you can go a close expo and find the exact one that you want.

how can it be a bell line lemon pastel?
the bell's dont produce lemon lines.
thats nerds puppy.
i dont think a pastel male is worth 300 anywhere in this country

I thought it sounded kind of fishy when he said he had no pics. I got a male pastel off of craigslist a while back for $75. Not a bad animal, but was infested with mites. Thanks to PAM I got that under control, but I learned my lesson the hard way about "craigslist deals" LOL. I admit this ad intrigued me, so I responded just to see. But you are right, there is probably something wrong. The other odd thing was that he said "he's a great eater, just ate a rat a few days ago, and has one in him right now?" What the heck? How often is he feeding that snake?

you talking about this one cuz i dont trust that one much either....

we must be in the same area huh

scam nooo breeder size pastel is gonna be that cheap and the people on this forum saying its a good price are idiots because if u knew anything about bps u know that a breeder size male pastel is is like 300-450 depending on what line it is

sounds like a scam to me, id pay it no mind. I see ads on CL with pictures of Normals being offered as pastels all the time.

**sigh**

You had to go and specify which ad it was? :rolleyes:

Since that has now occured you everyone needs to be carefull about what they say to stay on the right side of this forum rule;

Just thought it was worth giving you a heads up and clue to where it went if this thread suddenly isn't on the normal boards. :gj:

sorry my bad :bolt:

i'd def. want to see if first before i bought it. I found a great deal on a 100% het lemon pastel breeder a few days ago :rolleyes: lol i'd take everything i read on cl w/ a grain of salt when it comes to live animals.

I found a female mojave around feb of this year for 125.00 and a male mojave from the same person for 75.00 off of C.L. Still have the female and sold the male. female is breeding to my lesser right now. she's almost 1600 grams and is still feeding. so you can find deals on C.L. but what most of the members here are saying is to be careful. You posted that you are new at this. so be very careful. in my area 100 for a breeding size male pastel is a good deal not an amazing deal. breeders are dumping their breeding size males and replacing them with supers. if you get a proven male it will be a little more.

now that is one that i would jump on in a min, maybe not i think id hold out for one triple het for pastel, spider, and butter

The ad sounds a bit fishy, but the price is not all that bad. I have a proven breeder Pastel that I have brought to numerous shows and priced at $150, and have not even had an inquiry. Adult Pastels just aren't selling for that much above babies these days.

p.s. Nixer hit it on the head. Lemon Pastels are NERD line animals. Bell Pastels have been that for years. The only way an animal could be called a Bell Lemon is if it was the product of a Bell Pastel bred to a Lemon Pastel. However, the offspring of that breeding would still be one or the other. If it had both lines in the offspring, then it would be a Super Pastel.

Just my .02,

I got my pastel as a proven breeder and a very stunning animal to top it off for $150. I have one of the babies that he sired also, who is again, a stunning animal. Not to mention, he has been a great feeder and is breeding three females as we speak. So it is not impossible to get a good animal at a good price. Go check it out, what do you have to loose?

I don't have a pic of him at this moment, but, here is a pic of his offspring....
