Re: What's The Best Deal?
My best deals so far were a yearling female Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus and a pair of CBB Trimeresurus puniceus (healthy, vibrant snakes) for free from a good friend of mine!

Re: What's The Best Deal?
guess mine would have to be a very bright pastel female BP (about1yr old) and a baby pinstripe male for only $200... guess you need to see the brightness of the pastel in person to appreciate the deal... lol

Re: What's The Best Deal?
Best "deal"? Most recently by FAR the male Pastel Crystal I picked up for $6500. Reason he was a "deal"? There are three in Canada and I think I have the nicest one.
Most times, you get exactly what you pay for.

The people who had her were looking for a herper to rehome her to.
They asked me at least 20 questions about beardie care and the woman looked at her husband and said " he's our guy". I asked how much for everything and she said just to promise to take great care of her until the end of her days. Then the started bringing our more and more stuff.I feel horrible about one thing. She gave me her e-mail to keep her posted on how Dex was doing and I lost the paper on the way home. Must have dropped it loading/unloading the van.

Aw, that sucks. =/ Do you remember her name? Maybe you could find her on Facebook? (I know it's a long shot, but I was in her place years ago and I've never heard back from the person who took my beardie, and it bothers me to this day.)

I looked those up, and I must say those are very beautiful. Too bad I am not into hots but if I was I would definitely consider the CBB Trimeresurus Puniceus. Not only is the colour nice but I love the shape of their heads Sweet deal!

I have a pretty decent female pastel, so I know what you mean as most tend to brown out quite a bit. Plus pictures never give them justice That's pretty good for being a year old along with a male pinstripe! I paid $175 for a year old pastel female alone :P

I didn't realize there were only 3 of them, and to have one of the three-that's a deal in itself. Do you happen to have any pictures of the living masterpiece?

Wish I did. It's been a year+ since we got her. It was also about 45 min drive away. I doubt I could find the house again

Aw. Well at least you're giving him a good home. That's what really matters.

That's pretty nice of them, even though you offered to swap. Sounds like some good people indeed!

That's pretty good, how much do Tiger Retic's usually go for alone?

Good people indeed... the animals are hatchlings and not like an old pair that he no longer has time for or anything like that... I got to return the favour somehow

Re: What's The Best Deal?
My only snake "purchase" so far has been a Female BP, and a Female Red Tail that I got for free because I responded to a craigslist ad at the right time.
