I've been thinking about purchasing a Pastel BP for about 1.5 years now. I'm mainly into Boas, but have to admit I'm interested in BP's, don't tell anyone!

My 1st experience with a boid (a long long time ago) was actually a BP I bought from a Pet shop as a kid, which I'm 100% sure it was WC back in those days. That snake never ate and after a few months, just croked one day... I haven't owned a BP since!

Since those days I've kept and bred lots of Colubrids, quite a few Boas, and some Jungle carpet Pythons. These days I mainly focus on Boas, but every now and then I peak in the BP world and see what's going on. It's amazing what the BP's have become today, I remember when they were considered starter snakes and really a stepping stone for other boids such as Burms and Boas.

Anyways,

As I mentioned up above, I've been juggling around the idea of purchasing a Pastel BP and have noticed the prices drop considerably in the last 6 months. Are they going to continue to drop in price? Would it be best to wait? Should I get a normal BP and perfect my husbandry for BP's before plunking down a few hundred on any morph?


Thanks
