$150 a good deal?

[Star-Static]

Guy in my area is selling 1.1 pastels for $150....Thats for both of the animals, not 150 a piece btw.

I'll post pics..

This one is the female.



And here is the male.





Any opinions on the quality of the animals?
Is this deal worth it?

[Mike41793]

Not even close.

[Star-Static]

Sorry, I'm not up to date on pricing. The colors didn't seem as bright as other pastels I've seen.

[Brad91]

Maybe for the pair. That being said, you could buy a pair of normals for almost the same price.

[Star-Static]

True. Just wasn't sure if $150 for the both of them was worth it.

[Inarikins]

No. They look like babies and they're already browning out. Pass. You can't find a decent male for that price, how are you going to get a good pair?

[Aes_Sidhe]

Sorry but this pastels are so poor Quality I will not take them even for Free...

That's the biggest problem of this hobby..... Machine Breeding of low Quality morphs just too fill up pockets.....

If You Plan good investment for 250-300 You can Buy nice Superpastel male.. and i seen Decent females Running for 400...

UGh, those are really terrible pastels. For their sake I hope they're bought as normals and never bred.
They're cute though. And I agree, buy a SP from a good breeder.

[Star-Static]

Yeah, I thought they were a little too dark to really consider them.
Was thinking maybe it was a little bit of lighting. I was only considering them if you guys thought they were fairly priced...but I already had my doubts.

Other wise I was gonna pass them up.
Oh well, as long as someone picks them up as pets and not to breed.

Craigslist in my area is ridiculous with their asking prices.

Thanks guys!

Wow people are harsh, lol. The price is fair, and I don't think they look terrible. That being said, the male is pretty dark, and I would offer the guy $100, then go up to $125, see what he says.

There are always going to be lower grade snakes in each morph, but someone has to buy them if they aren't going to be culled. If you really want them you could get them and see what happens. Sometimes pastels are just ugly ducklings, sometimes they stay ugly. Sometimes even really nice baby pastels turn out not looking that great. I would suggest breeding them with lighter snakes though if you do decide to get them.

I bought this female as an ugly duckling, picked her up for $125 3 years ago -that's back when females were a good $175-$200 at expos.


Look at her now, she's the nicer yellow one on the right (@ 3 years old)


And for fun, here's that male when he was a baby, he looked way better than the female above, now look at him, he lost of a lot of his yellow. He's 5 years old now.
