Ball Python

Ok so I am planning on buying a Ball Python. It is my second snake I have ever owned. I got a corn snake 5 years ago and he is beautiful and is beautiful! I just need some help from my fellow snake lovers to help me out with some things. I need to know where I can buy a ball python and get him shipped to me as a hatch ling. I am not in to spending more than 5 dollars for a ball python as they are the most common snake pet in the us. If you could please tell me a trust worthy website that would be great!

Sorry you won't get anything for 5 dollars. Or maybe a shady owner will sell you wild caught ones for 5 dollars but I wouldn't go there. On LLLreptile normal ball pythons go for 19.99. You can find more on kingsnake classifieds, bhb reptiles,constrictors...etc. Just gotta look around the internet.

I just made a mistake of not asking whether or not my corn snake I just received today was wild caught or captive bred. So my advice to you would be to look around, and when you see something you like ask as many questions as you can to the owner of the snake about the ball python you are about to buy.

How old are you? five dollars is not much. Think more along the lines of respectable breeder with some normal morphs for sale. Not to mention the fact that all the caging could be from 25$ for a tub with a simple heating, to well over 100$ for a nice cage with proper heating and a nice secure lid.

In that case you're in luck! 20 bucks on lll, and probably around the same else where.(I refer to lllreptile because they usually always have normal ball pythons in stock)

You should find PLENTY of normal ball pythons to pick from at a reptile expo, for less than $50
