    Which Pastel should I get?

    Hey so I have store credit at this reptile store and I was thinking of just using it to pick up 1 of the 2 pastels they have at the store.



    Left one = male pastel
    Right one = male jungle pastel

    I was told that both of them are $150. Is that too steep for male pastels? On Kingsnake.com the male pastel is listed for $100.00 and the jungle pastel is listed for $125.00. (are those prices more reasonable)

    Anyway, I'm probably gonna pick up one of those snakes in a few hours. Any suggestions on which one?

    Sorry I didn't take the best pictures

    Here's the link to their ad if anyone wants to check it out.

    Pet stores will pretty much always be a little more expensive than buying online. I personally would go for the one on the right!

    ya i agree about the pet stores being more expensive.. but what confuses me is that it's the same exact pet store that posted the ad's on kingsnake.

    so for example: Jungle Paste was $150 in the store, but on kingsnake its $125. Plus shipping fees which are around $50. Are they just dropping the price a little because buyers have to pay the shipping fee? Would it be right to ask for the jungle pastel for $125.00 when I pick it up from the store itself?

    I like the color of the one on the right but I also go for pattern too. Can't really see the patterns form those pictures. Is there any difference in their eating habits that may dissuade you either way?

    Price does seem steep. IMO

    But, it will be purchased with store credit.

    They both look good. I like the jungle more.

    Not to knock the pastels in the KS ad but they don't look as nice as the two you are holding in the picture. Plus, you'd have to pay for shipping which is in addition to the $100. I'd pay more for a nicer pastel.

    If I am correct being you are from Queens is this the pastels listed from Bobs Jungle? I've seen them online also if so. In any case I like the one on the right seems to have brighter yellow. Good luck
