    Do you have any other choices?

    To be honest they have a LOT of orange and I would recommend you to pick between some brighter individuals if you can.

    Hathclings yearlings with a lot of orange tend to brown out as adults.

    Unfortunately these are the last available, but I would be getting the pair for $375. I thought that's decent.

    You need to shop for quality animals not the lower price possible. ;)

    But if they appeal to you all I would say go for it!

    Give Adam at 8ball pythons a call.

    waltah!
    Re: Pair of pastels
    Yeah I would call adam at 8ball to see what he has. You can also try NERD or BHB to get super quality pastels....ever seen a nice lemon pastel?:)

    thats kinda high IMO... even more so for those animals. I suggest you shop around more and find the perfect animal (s) it would be awful for you to get these just because you want them *now* instead of having many many many animals to choose from... just my 0.02 but ultimately its up to you good luck with what you choose.

    You can do better as others have said.

    Can you get to the Cleveland show on the 15th? If so take a look at SpecialK Reptiles table. He always as nice pastels.

    Better than those anyway.

    you have to also keep in mind... this is a 20yr long pet, an investment and responsibility so you want to make sure its EXACTLY what you want...

    Basically I have to agree with others. IMO the price asked is too much for the quality of pastels. Then again differn't people like differnt things. I like high yellows, high blacks, and lots of blushing. If you're into the more orange and such then if you want go for them. I definatly suggest going to the upcoming shows or even waiting till snakes start hatching out. No telling what the price on the market will be then and you may be able to get a much better quality snake for the same or even a better price!

    Re: Pair of pastels
    You're right, and I shouldn't be greedy. I have 2 gorgeous snakes already. I think, if I am patient, what I want will eventually drop right into my lap. I wish it worked that way for good men, too. I'm beginning to lose my patience with the 'relationship market'

    Anyone know of a nice human male morph with good temperment?
    Average length no greater than 6'5" please, I am only 4'11"
    If it comes with its own enclosure, that's a bonus!

    Ok, I gotta stop before this turns into a personal ad :D
