OK first off they have done experiments where they bred 5 generations in and had no problems. Now with ball pythons I doubt anyone is close to that everyone is trying to make the next new thing by crossing to other morphs. The most I would say is f2s and f3s at most. You have to take f1 offspring to make f2 and f2 to make f3 etc etc so thats 3 - 6 years starting with an unrelated pair at the earliest counting on that they are great feeders and everything goes according to planned. But for your question i wouldnt pay more than 20 bucks for a pastel regardless of its imperfections. unless it was something just insane looking but to me thats just common sense and i've always been like that i never buy ugly animals.
