Pastels *should* drop in price faster than recessive hets. They are hets--but instead of breeding a het to a normal and having to guess which ones are carrying the desired gene--you can already tell. Too easy to produce.

Can't even come close to comparing the price to a butter stripe cornsnake. That is a triple recessive morph combination...something that has not even been accomplished in ball breeding yet. And if I do recall correctly butter stripes were $1000 just a couple years ago.

Now tell me what a male het stripe, het amel or het caramel goes for and then compare the price to a male pastel ball.

Pastels are a wonderful base morph and the price decrease can make them accessible to people just discovering ball pythons or snakes in general.
