Sorry, but those definitely appear to be Nile monitors rather than lace monitors.

They should look like the babies that are pictured below if they are indeed lace monitors.

For comparison, here's a picture of a baby Nile monitor.

IMO, I think that $300 is a pretty good deal for CBB baby lace monitors, but it's an extra zero too much if it's for baby Nile monitors. At least here in the States, Nile monitors can be had in the $30 range, if not less, regardless of their birth status simply because so many get imported from the farms in Africa. The ones that are pictured are Nile monitors, though.

Looks like there are TWO ball pythons in there, not just one... One is definitely a pied. Can't tell the other from the photo though.

Those are nile monitors, not lace monitors. Way over priced. By about 280.

I was about to say... I call BS on the baby Savs being CBB. If he's labeling them as such you need to get your money back and never return to that store. Which I would encourage anyways if he's got Niles listed as Laces and priced as such... I can't stand bad business owners.
