    In general, you get what you pay for. You may come across some deals here and there, but they're going to be few and far between, or they're snapped up before you know they're out there. Your best bet would be to look for local reptile shows. Go to a show, look at the animals in person, meet the breeders/vendors and you can usually find slightly lower prices at the show. Also, you have a little haggle room at the shows whereas you may not when buying online.

    Yup.

    Quality isn't cheap and cheap isn't quality. Also, everyone looks for something different. What one person finds special about a specific morph may be a complete turn off to another.

    I have to say that i agree with what has been said I bought a male pastel who browned out completely in a year for $75 and I got a female pastel baby who's current color is almost orange, black and highlights of yellow for $200 I paid that because she came from two Very beautiful parents! dad was a super pastel het axanthic(so she is a poss. het axanthic) and mom was pastel yellow belly, who she got the orange from, it's all about quality too my little female is very "buff" for a foot long and the male was not this healthy when i got him now i try to buy from breeders i know are not going to be giving me the "leftovers" so again you get what you pay for
