Sometimes, you just get a great deal. We got our Black Widow and Super Pastel for about $200 shipped from TriReptiles - I tend to think that's a great deal. They arrived healthy, active, alert, beautiful (in my biased opinion) and other than my ongoing battle with trying to convince the Super Pastel that F/T are edible, I've never had any problem with them. I think she won that argument, actually, since there's a cage of squirmy mouse pinkies behind me right now, with their mothers, and a rat colony that I'm setting up.
