    Is it worth it?

    Ok, so i have a male pastel and was planning on buying a female cinnamon so i can breed them later. However my friend has a normal female that is 3 years old and he is willing to sell to me for $50. I think im going to go ahead and get the normal female because that is a really good price for a snake that can already breed. I want opinions on whether or not you think its worth it.

    I'm a sucker for an animal at a good price or in need of a home, but it all depends on what your breeding objectives are. IMO I would not add the Normal to my collection for the purpose of breeding. Change that Cinnamon up for a Pewter and call it a day!

    Yes it's a good price for a breedable sized female

    Just because she is 3 yrs old doesn't mean she's ready to breed. She also has to be the proper weight. While the female normal is a good price, the cinny will be more valuable, imo.

    Why not get them both?

    Thanks for all the responses, and yes i think i will get them both but i can only get one at the moment. So i think im going to go for the normal. And im pretty sure she IS breeding size but i don't know for sure.

    If you can only get one, get the normal female and buy a year old pastel female if you make enough off the offspring.

    Then you are not behind, and at the end of it you have an extra adult breeding female.
