I've searched the web, and some forums, and have been looking for Western pigmies for a loooooong time. I havent been able to find any up until I had a contact for some and his female has just dropped some babies.
Im just looking for some market value information to get a ballpark idea for whats fair and whats too much or too little. We've already agreed on a price for "first shed, and no feeding guarantee" for hopefully 1.1
Anybody got any relatively recent info as to how much these guys go for? I'll keep our price arrangement to ourselves out of respect to the seller.

I'd say that if they are hard to find, price isn't as important as finding them. Grab'm while you can

Well, do you want to know the market value of juveniles, or their chance of survival? If you're confident in your ability to care for them, and most importantly are able to feed them properly (=herping for tiny foodstuff), then the market value is a dead issue. If you've dealt with hatchling scarlet kings, etc, then you probably have a good idea about what to expect. I'm not in your shoes, as I can "somewhat" easily find adult streckeri in the field, but I wouldn't risk more than $20 on a newborn, and even then, I wouldn't purchase the animal unless I knew how to find tiny herps, otherwise, it would be a waste of money, not to mention a dead snake! Your choice.
