Just had a little look on the website and did a price comparison to here in the UK. $200.00 for an adult normal BP seems rather extortionate, that would be £125.00 and you can buy normals over here from a reputable breeder from £30-£40, sometimes a little more for an adult but not much more.
Looking through the "speciality BP" section I can see some which would be a good price over in the UK but from what I have read on these forums BP's tend to be cheaper to buy over in the states than they are here. A lot of people recommend going to a private breeder or a herp show. I'm not knocking buying from ReptMart at all as it may be easier for you and you may have your eye on a particular BP there but personally I am taking my own BP buying to private breeders.
Example: over here a male spider BP sells for in the £220 mark (cheapest I was quoted from a rep shop, our rep places are tiny and a lot fewer than in the states but they tend to be specialised to herps only) which is roughly $138. I am buying from a private breeder for a cb13 male spider for £105 including delivery ($65.66). It can make all the difference I think.
You've started me on a browse of this website now! $100 for a pastel BP?! I need to move myself and my snakes to the states! I paid £175 ($280) for my pastel and she was supposed to be £250 ($400) but they had a one day 30% special with a certain quote! Definitely living in the wrong country!
