Pastels in Pics

[Adam_Wysocki]

How much will a quality pastel go for?

I sold them this year for between $900 and $1,500 for males.

How do you know they are a quality pastel when they are hatchlings?

Unless you have a lot of hands on experience with pastels, I'd recommend working with a serious breeder that is going to take the time to set you up with a killer animal for your budget. You'll pay a little more than some of the fly by night guys, but for an animal that you're investing your hard earned money in that you're going to have to look at for the next 25+ years, I think it's worth it.

What a lot of people don't realize is that the "great deals" you see advertised on the net are some of the worst looking pastels out there. It's no wonder that these guys have to sell them for half of what the good breeders are charging.
