Tinley had some spankingly awesome lessers, both male and female, and all were showing a steep drop in price from even just 6 months ago.
Everyone and their brother has lessers these days, there will likely be more lessers than pastels bred in the coming years.
$250 for a female lesser that doesn't "look like crap" is certainly a findable price.
Also, female and male prices are evening out quite a bit more (except for non-visual hets) among ball pythons. This is part of the crashing market.. And yes, the market IS crashing.
