Have you checked out rescue organisations before you buy an animal? That would probably be an ethical first option.
Otherwise, you should check out all of the classifieds that you can find in order to get an idea of what constitutes a reasonable price. It's very subjective anyway.

Adults go for much cheaper. I saw one at a pet store in Bradenton, where I live, for $39.99. However, most adults are imported, and have internal parasites, so I'd go with a baby, or an adult that you KNOW is captive bred.
