where can i get a pastel for a reasonable price cheapest ive found is about 100 for a baby just wondering what else is out there

You should check by your nearest reptile show, you can get pretty good deals on males there.

Nuff said...Adam is the best, give him a call, you won't be disapointed.

I want an 8ball python :please:

if your looking for cheap this site called mickeys nightmares (if you google it itll be the second or third site, itll say ball pytohn breeders on it) has a few for 85
i got my pastel from them a while back for 75 dollars, needless to say some people might not think hes the best looking pastel, but hes actually got really bright color and the ones they have up now have some nice blushing on them. worth a look.

It's funny to see people think that $100 is too much to pay for a pastel. When I got my first ball python in 2005, pastels were still over $1000 each. It's sad, really - to see how de-valued they've become in four years. :(

That said, I won't be selling my male pastels for under $150, if they turn out like last year's pastels. You truly do get what you pay for.

I paid $315 shipped for my Pastel about 6 months ago. I don't regret it one bit. From 8ballpyhtons.


I agree with Slim, Adam is the best he'll treat you good and to him you're not just another credit card number.

I bet people were saying the exact same thing when pastels were $1000.

I'm wondering about some of these pastels... I looked into a bunch of them and they look brown? Although, yeah, they got the light colored eyes and very light blushing. I'm just wondering if it is just the camera or what. My pastel is definitely yellow. She's an '07. She turns dull during shed and the top part browns out but after the skin comes off, she's back to yellow.
Anyway, I paid $250 for her last October at the pet store.

I just ordered a pastel from Adam at 8ball. I can't WAIT for him to arrive!! :)His prices are great!

Maybe so. But I believe my bright yellow pastels are worth more than the dirty brown ones. They don't sell at $150, I'll hang onto them.

I bought a male pastel as my first morph and he ran around $100 here locally. Check with any reptile shows in your area....I can get animals at ALOT better prices there. I've seen a female pastel go for $45 just a few months ago. I'd never take that for a pastel female....but I guess the breeder was on hard times.

when i first got into ball morphs pastels were 1k needless to say i had to have one i bought my first pastel from hermin soler and back then i thought my pastel was among the best IMO....here's his pic...some of the pastels today look horrible gotta pay to play.....

In '07 I got a male pastel for $450, it was definitely worth it, he is 4 years old now and has held his color great!:D
