Deciding on first snake
I'd like a ball python. I found these I found a guy selling out on cl. He's asking for offers though and I don't know what the snakes are worth. The one I want is very minimally pied with just a few triangles near it's belly and 700-800 grams. Ideas what it's worth? I have $100 to spend after setting up my snake enclosure.

Re: Deciding on first snake
Welcome. I am no expert on Ball Pythons, but from what I have seen. Pieds can go for $300.00 to $1000.00 maybe even more depending on the genes it has.

Re: Deciding on first snake
Hello and welcome.
From what I've seen, pieds are very expensive, and $100 may not be enough, even for one with such low white.

Re: Deciding on first snake
A picture of the snake would help with an idea of pricing but typically piebalds currently run around $500-$1500. Each specimen is different though and I would still talk to the guy and see what he's looking for..

Re: Deciding on first snake
You will most likely not get a pied for $100. But let me ask you a question...why not just spend $20-$30 for a nice normal ball python as your first snake and see how that goes?

This, Normals are great (my first was a no-frills normal) And I love him to death! It got me introduced to snakes Without breaking my bank. Now that I have a more experience I'll be getting a much larger, More expensive snake (dumeril)

Re: Deciding on first snake
I don't think $100 will be enough to get a pied unless the person selling it wants to be very generous and let you have it for that low price. As was mentioned, for a mere $30, you can find a regular morph Ball Python.

I agree with this. The worst he could do is say no and you will be where you are now. No harm done. If he goes for it, you have a very unique snake at a bargain price.
If you decide to go for a Normal, that would be cool as well and you definitely have the money for one of those. Either way you go with it, you will have a great snake as your first.
