Is It Worth Getting!?

Hey,

I got an offer to pick up a male 08 Pastel Jungle Ball Python. Should I or should I not take it for 210?

Daniel:confused:

Hard to say without a picture.

Just like most things quality dictates cost and value. I would pay double that for a real smoker, but not half for a lesser quality animal. Pics?

I do not see any pastels available on his page.

Its not the one I'm buying it looks like it's twin!;)

So, that's 210 Canadian? I think that's roughly $185 USD. I've gotten incredible lemon pastels for $100 USD in Daytona, so I can't be enthusiastic about these pics, but it's all personal preference. If you think its a good deal, then it's a good deal.

It's a nice pastel - great blushing. I like it. I'm not sure what BP availability is like in Canada. Are Pastels hard to come by? $100-$150 is pretty common here in the US. Is he a proven breeder? If so, that might be driving up the price?

It's your money and he'll be your snake. The value in him is up to you, but he's a nice pastel. What's his current weight?

For Canada that is a good price for a mid quality male Pastel. I paid $200 for my 220 gram male and he is average quality.

If you have plans for him then I would do it.

I would rather spend that much on a nice pastel female. I just got a lemon pastel female that is 600 grams and a smoker for 150$. There will always be males available but females are hard to come by.

your the EXPERT!!!!!!!!!!!:gj:

I think he's puuuurty, but that's probably because he resembles my pastel Toby. :) I paid $125 for him at a reptile show, and he is still a baby... so I guess that isn't a bad price for an adult, especially when you convert it to US dollars.

That is a great price but way below what a female pastel should be. The price you stated is a standard price for a high quality male.

yea, the thing looks like a normal in my opinion... I've actually seen normals brighter then it haha, but its not my money, so do whatever you want... I would suggest saving up a little more and finding a better one...
