Need help to identify what kind of BP I had?

thats a nice normal but for 250 you could of got one of many morphs

I am really sorry man. You really do need to take that thing back to the shop and ask for either a $200 credit back, or a full refund. There is no doubt about it. Unless that thing is het for something (and that is just about impossible because certainly the shop would have told you) then they flat out ripped you off, and knew they were ripping you off.

When you do go back, they will likely try to tell you it is a pastel. It is NOT a pastel. Its not light enough, and it does not have the pastel green eyes.

That said, It is a beautiful normal, and what you do from here is up to you. Good luck!

Just for reference, this is a picture of one of my pastels. Notice the colour of the eyes. If it ain't got the eyes, it ain't a pastel.

Couple of points:

1) It's not a Pastel

2) You can get a Pastel for $100, and an exceptional one in the $200 range

3) You do have a beautiful Normal with excetional color and pattern. Not worth $250 on the regular BP market, but if you are happy with your purchase, don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy your new BP. It's a real looker.

im sorry you were taken advantage of, you could have gotten a few normals for that price or even a couple pastels.

i would most def go back to the store and DEMAND to know why it was so much and get a credit or refund. i am actually very angry you were victim of the pet store salesman.

Hi everyone,

I really appreicated everyone input, now I know for a pastel, their eyes have to be green.

Damn it! I just cant believed the salesman did that to me Anyway, they have some really nice BP just came in yesterday. I am going in for a trade in. Thanks..

Aw... you felt the snake was worth the money. That's all that matters... He is very very pretty.
I'm a newbie to snakes so I tend to assign "value" to a snake by the way it looks and not by the what-kind-of-morph thing. For example, I don't like the look of albinos, so I would pay $800 bucks for a really nice spider (my favorite) head-wobble and all and won't be even tempted to shell out $250 bucks for an albino. Although, yeah, my money is limited, so I would go look for good deals as well which tend to prevent me from getting "suckered"...

Not to disencourage you I agree with your post but be very careful as the prices you listed are off WAY off...

I wouldn't pay a cent over 650 for any Albino (most are in the 500-600 range) I've yet to see any Albino going for 250 thats really cheap, and Spiders are currently going for no more than 300-350 (females) at the most.

He was saying he would be willing to pay that much for those snakes.

He wasn't saying that's what they're worth.

What is the store that you got it from? so that others can be warned not to fall for their sales tricks to sucker new keepers into a cheat.

I am confused... did the OP say the petstore sold him a morph?

Looks like they were simply over-charged for a normal without it being claimed as anything other than a normal.

The OP thought it was a pastel... that is buyer error, does not sound like the pet store did anything wrong. Pet stores in my area charge 200.00 for a normal corn. Doesn't make them thieves, it makes them a corporation (I know, same thing right?).

Petstores overcharge for BPs all the time. That is what they do. This is not new.

Regardless, it is a gorgeous BP, no doubt about it. If female, it would be my first choice to pair with a pastel.
