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?

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?

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.
