Well, I can't see the picture here at work but I paid $150 for my pinstripe and that was about the going rate among all of the breeders at Repticon.

Depends. Size? Also, your prices are going to be higher in PR, where the supply is less than in the States.

yea, Im aware of this... She is like 2 months old (I think)

But what about the pattern? is it normal? a bit superior to regular pinstripes? Inferior?

Pinstripes are one of the morphs that I personally think are more of a personal preference, and aren't "graded" as much as pastels and some other morphs.

Some people (like myself) desire a more reduced pattern like the one you have pictured, and some like a busier pattern. Some like a lighter animal, some like a darker.

Since you're not having to deal with yellows on a pinstripe, there's not the worry of browning out like in a pastel or a lighter combo or mutation.

I haven't priced pinstripe females lately, but I'd guess $200 or less.

no one else?

Mac I would say $350 depending on size. I personally like gold, bright, reduced pins so not my pic but. I would see it listed between $200-$350 shipped.

ill get better pics in a few weeks... :gj:

I don't have one but I also prefer a more lighter and reduced pattern. Here in the Philippines a Pinstripe would cost about $700 USD.Crazy huh?

Male pins all day long 125-150 and females 275-350.

ok then the price isn't crazy then.... What do you all mean by reduced pattern?

She isn't a bad pinstripe in my opinion, but I am not a fan of dark pins. I prefer high gold ones. I do like that long stripe down her back. That is something I look for, personally. I also look for either an aberrant reduced pattern or a very uniform busy pattern. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though.

For her I would probably pay somewhere in the $150-200 range due to her size and my preferences.

Edit: Reduced patterns are just that, reduced patterns. Likewise a busy pattern is a lot of patterning. Basically we are talking about the amount of black "pinstripes" she has.

Good luck, wont find a female pinstripe under 250 unless seller is desperate.

Maybe next time I go there I can clear up my mind :rofl:

if the price its in the range that Rich told you I say buy it, if the snake is in PR, if you buy it on the states, youll pay at least $40-$50 in vet cert. plus $90-$100 on shipping, thats a $150 more.

Here in PR are a little more expensive, but some times you can get some at that price range.

I've seen several female hatchlings under $200 from a couple different local breeders. Males were in the $100-125 range. Run of the mill pinstripes, but pinstripes none the less. Obviously you'll pay more for better examples of the morph, hence why I passed on the cheap ones. :gj:
