You get what you pay for. I have been told you should not expect to produce the best babies from an average male, yet if you have an above average male Pastel you should produce above average babies. I understand it is true many people did what you said and bought Pastels because they could not afford more expensive morphs. You still have to factor not everyone has success breeding these snakes and the new Pastel Combo morphs should help to keep the price from bottoming out. If you offered me a dull Pastel for 800 and a screamer for 1300 I personally would take the screamer. If the price dropped within a few years I would of course be a bit annoyed but the bottom line is if you were happy with a snake for the price you were willing to pay for it....stay happy. There are few investments on the face of earth that do not depreciate...roll a new car off the lot and it drops in price practically immediately. Picking morphs to invest in is not an easy thing for me to decide...I am on a low budget. But I will not settle for less, the quality of the animals I buy will reflect on the prices I hope to get for my offspring in the future. When the best of the best Pastel males are only a few hundred bucks....well then we will all most likely be buying other co doms we can't afford now that have also become more affordable.
