I don't think that babcocki would have brought $300 in 1994-96. Does anyone have any old issues of Reptile & Amphibian or Reptiles Magazine who could check the old ads to verify then-current prices? I was selling Radiated babies for $500-600 at that time and believe babcocki were around $100-125. That being said, though, the breeder may have surmised that this lady purchaser was not aware of the market value of his baby Leopard and charged her more than a savvy buyer would pay for a babcocki. Also, there were not very many people breeding pardalis pardalis then, which further reduces the probability of it being the more rare subspecies.

Have you tried asking the lady to recall the name of her source? That would be a big help, IMHO.
