Can Anyone Give Me A Ball Park Figure?

I saw a young hypo pastel BCI in the local petshop the other day. What's a fair price for them?

$20 and $2k.

Its impossible to price something so subjective without a picture, but market value of a nondiscript hypo is roughly $250 ish so retail would be $400-$500

Mike, thanks for the come back. I'm no good with boa morphs . I keep a single normal BCI. Happened to see this one in the petshop and just got to wonderin'. Not much more than a hatchling, bout 15-18 inches long. Just a pretty baby. Lots of pink runnin' down the sides. They were askin' 200 bucks. Thanks again.

Offer them $150 cash out the door,if they jump at your offer
then "leave" without the animal.

There are lots of people calling their hypos pastel hypos without cause. These hypos haven't a shred of pastel in their lineage. They call them pastel like a hypo X pastel to charge you more money. Ask about the parents. Be very wary of pet store boas.

Relax guys , I don't buy reptiles from pet stores, as a rule, anyhow. Just wanted an idea of what it was actually worth.
