    "Cheap" is a bad word. I hear cheap...I think tag sale scores or Ikea furniture.

    "Less expensive" is more like it.

    Pastels, yellowbellies, even male cinnamons and mojaves are less expensive now.

    I picked up a proven breeder male pastel for $25 on CL.

    Agreed - that's a HUGE pet peeve for me (click the link in my signature about "cheap")- using the work cheap when talking about a living animal. I would choose "most affordable".

    The word cheap just "cheapens" the animal.

    I personally shop the snake, not the price. You can find some really ugly pastel males for as low as $40. Or - you can pay a lot more for the best example that you can find - if your plan is to breed.

    If it's just for a pet and you want to simply own one - go for the the lowest priced, lower quality critter if price is the primary driver.

    I bought him from Shelly at Firestorm Reptiles. He was 10 1/2 months old and 585g when I got him. He is healthy and beautiful.

    You could always save your money to get a $400+ dollar snake if that's what you really want. For me, I'm getting a pastel lesser as my first snake which costs $600 dollars. I've been patiently waiting for over a year.

    Well I could never wait that long haha. I think I plan on buying either a nice pastel or a spider for around $100.

    Where are you located? If your local I'll keep my eyes open for nice snakes in your price range.
