    If you buy a bee these days for 600$ you are getting ripped off. These days I would not pay more then 450$ for a snake with very clean pattern. Lets face it though bees are easy to make, and fairly common so there price is going to continue to drop.

    When started to heavily research everything the bumble bee and the super pastel are my two favorites.

    Do you guys think this is a good deal?
    How do you like tyhe markings and such?

    Just really want some input before I jump the gun

    She's a nice bee and I think it's a good deal. Line some have said before bees are quite common now and there for when she's breedable bees won't be worth near what your paying for her. But it's not a bad deal and depending on your breeding plans it could be something you do really well with.

    It all depends on preference.

    Personally, I wouldn't buy her, she's just a little too dirty for me... But it could be the picture.


    Edit: Looks like you made your decision. Grats!

    For the most part, yes. It's not really a trait as it is low quality pastel. Pastels are based off of their brilliant yellow color and which ever animal holds it the longest or keeps the yellow is the more valuable snake.

    Normally on Bee's it has to do with the "dirty" of the snake. The black/brown scale spots where the yellow is. Snake of this quality normally end up nice and brown. Not saying every time the yellower the baby the better the snake, but there is a reason why people hold back brighter animals over the dull/dirty ones.

    Just my opinion but I wouldn't take that snake if it was free. It would be a waste of space in my collection. I know some people buy for genes but others, like myself, buy for quality. Quality in, quality out. Like I said that is just my opinion, goodluck with w/e you do.

    My Bee won't leave my collection for less than $600. Easy to make? What is this a cooking show? Everything is "easy to make". As far as being common it's b/c every joe blow gets 2 of the worst looking animals for next to nothing and breeds them. It's contaminating the BP market. They won't go much lower than the $450 they are at (cheap quality). It's a 2 gene animal and especially if a female has some weight on her, value only increases.
    Mentality like this why animals like this have dropped from $700-800 last season to the ridiculous $450 they are now. I have yet to see a bee on the market to be even worth buying.

    300-350 for a female Bee is a good price...if you don't care about the brown...personally I'd pass and would gladly pay double that for a great looking Bee...
