That depends on a lot of factors.
How old are they? Why are they being gotten rid of? Who is the person your buying from, are they reputable? Are they Jersey Pines, Alabamas? ect? What is their history? Myself, I'm all into Jersey Northern Pines. Almost all my stock comes from John Meltzer who is certainly very reliable. Baby Northern Pines can vary in price from 40 to 100 dollars from what I've seen. High white pines like the female are very highly regarded. And as you can see, Pines are very variable, as the darker colored male is. Are they clutchmates? You CAN get two babies that run the gamut for color like that in the same clutch. In my situation, I'd buy the female for 150. The male isn't worth anything to me since he's not what I'm looking for in a breeder male. But if I were to put up for sale the male I haven't been using for breeding, I'd ask at LEAST 200 since he's a high white and out of parents who were ancient, in their twenties, that were out of wild caught stock animals themselves from the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Plus he's a proven sire of several clutches and is an aggressive breeder to boot. He's simply had time off since in my opinion the younger male I have is "prettier." And seems to produce more high white babies which is my goal and what everyone seems to want. Good luck!
