    Robin, I would buy a pastel from you at any price you think is fair for that animal. Great person, great snake keeper, with beautiful animals, a transaction with a snake breeder that has those qualities is priceless to me.

    Which is also my point. When it boils down to it, I'ld rather pay for a 1500 "grade A" pastel, or 700 "grade A" cinnamon, then go and pay for a 150 spider or 100 pastel. Reasons why, because they are not a random impulse, or some project that I am racing to achieve.
    They are pets, first and for most that I will be investing in.
    Pets that I will be keeping for 20+ years, and they will also be producing babies that I will keep as well, so with that in mind I want high quality animals that will look nice, and produce beautiful babies that will grow into beautiful and stunning examples of whatever morph they are.

    Also, I believe that normals are grossly underrated too. Beautiful normals can have just as much potential as most morphs, and (depending on the quality) can be a huge factor in selective breeding. And shouldn't be sold at the lowest price that you can think of, but at a price you think is appriopriate for the specific animal.

    Along with that, imho the Kingsnake market is not the entire snake market. Not all breeders post their animals for sale up there, so in my opinion animals for sale on there (especially the lowest priced ones you can find) are not examples that indicates the official price range of morphs, but rather what price range those breeders are willing to go down to.
