what can I expect to pay for a beeding size yellow belly?

The above quotes seem to be the going rate. Way over priced for what they are IMO. But hey its all personal opinion and I guess I'm the minority on that one.

You could get a male for under $150 thats breeding size, get like 3 breeding size normal females for $400. Then produce a bunch of your own ybs. Also a pair of babies you can get for like $200. So i agree with Rob, they are wayyyyy overpriced imo. You can get breeding size pastels for like $500. Theres no reason for breeding size female ybs to be that much imo...

It's not about just the Yellowbelly it's about the potential of the Yellowbelly gene when paired with the right male.
Pastels don't have nearly the potential that the Yellowbelly gene does.
And heck a nice breeder sized Spider or Pinstripe is still around $800-1000.
