Local pet store by my dad's house just got a new shipment in, they are usually good with prices but this... this is rediculous.

Here I thought our prices were high. Up here a baby MBK sells for $100-120.

Uhh, on another note, is it me or is this little one tail looks weird?

Yeah, it kinda does. It could also just be the lighting. This shop has been going down hill and treat their rats/mice pretty bad. I only go there because that is where my dad buys his rats

Poor thing looks like a chewed on rubber snake =(

Mine was only 40$ from BHB, though I also had shipping which made thenwhole cost like 75$ I think.

The make in the photo appears to have a scale issue as well. For that price the animal should be perfect. Why buy yourself a expensive headache. They must be kidding with that price for that animal.

Yeah, idk lol. And since it's a new shipment that just came in, they shouldn't be selling these right away. They should make sure they are fine and healthy for a few weeks before selling.

Gotta wait for the 50% off sale, haha. Otherwise ask the seller why the prices are so high. Is the animal a 2 or 4 gene animal with special genetics or something?? Highway robbery.

It looks a little skinny but could just be the picture, it would be better to determine that in person or knowing length+weight.

I've seen hatchling MBKs at my nearest LPS for $349.99. I always expect pet stores to have higher prices than breeders just because of markup and shipping expenses, but $350 for an MBK? Really??

However I did pay $250 for my first grey band.
