You should be able to find a Lesser female hatchling for around $75, and if your in FL, you'll find them even cheaper.
Any hatchling that has an average retail price of under $150, I sell at wholesale price to my local exotic pet store. This is the exact same pet store that I bought my first BP, Burmese, Retic, Boa, ect, ect, ect. They've been in the same spot for over 30 years, they're partly responsible for fueling my intrest in reptiles. They sell Pastels and other single genes for prices higher than I've seen in years. They'll sell Pastels all day long for $100-$150, while at the shows I see vendors with pastels for $20. When I bought my first Albino Burm in 1998 at the age of 15, I knew one day I'd be the one to provide them with snakes, talk about 360°.
When I go to the shows, I make sure I have the highest prices, and I don't go around looking for the cheapest price and try to beat it. The price on Saturday morning, is the same price on Sunday afternoon. I take pride in the animals I produce, I respect other breeders, and I show that respect by always paying their asking price. I never haggle.
The words "what's the best you can do?" or "what's the lowest you'll take?" have never left my mouth.
