Ball Python Het Piedball 1.1 Pair

If only I had the space, I would TOTALLY borrow 150 dollars from mom and dad to do this. Jeez...kinda wonder if this person's trying to hide something. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it?

Re: I wish!!

That's sorta my thought too, but wouldn't it be incredible if they proved out?

Re: I wish!!

one in a million, if they don't have paperwork to prove it then its not worth it, and you can get burned on paperwork anyways.

My Petco sells normal ball pythons for $80, corn snakes for $60, bearded dragons for $80, and red tail boas for $80 Kind of ridiculous. As far as prices, reptile expos are the way to go.

Re: I wish!!

Sorry guys, you just can't complain about those prices, at Petsmart, you would pay $120 for a corn. $150 for a milk, and I can't even IMAGINE what they think they would sell a python or boa for.

To get ANYTHING for $80, you have to find a good breeder, who is there more for the passion rather than the price.

Re: I wish!!

We get good deals at the shows, and like I said at the right breeders. But try to buy a snake from a pet store here and they bend ya right over, and I'm not convinved that they are properly cared for either!!

I either rescue mine, or the one I bought was from a good breeder who charged me $80 for a Blizzard (ph blood)
