Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

I follow two snake / reptile breeders on Facebook - one of them just posted this little desert male! Gah! I want him!

Just so you know, desert females have NEVER laid a fertile clutch of eggs, and many die in the process.

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

Oh poor things. i just like the color on him.

i know some morphs have genetic problems - Spiders with the head wobble for instance.

I thought it was odd when the breeder said the female was 500$ compared to the male being 1200$...

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

he just posted this one as well - I like the patterning but not so much how pale it is. I don't know why but I have a thing for gold colored animals >XD

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

IMO that's $500 too much for that desert female and about $1000 to much for the male.

these guys are kind of over priced..... I'll never buy from them, but it's nice seeing their pretties.

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

Overpriced is a relative term: too much money for you? Are they selling for market value?
Most breeders know exactly where the market is and rarely "overprice" anything.

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

Well, both in this case mykee. Most everything is too much money for me - however some of the prices just seem to be extreme, however i understand I'm not in the loop about all prices and my judgement on 'overpriced' is mainly personal opinion. However sometimes I do see some of their morphs for less on other sites / from other breeders. It's also relative to the area - and they're located in a different area than I am. The breeders I'm going to be close with have many morphs for much cheaper than I've seen these guys sell theirs for. Perhaps where I live there is less demand? I'm not sure.

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

I got a line on a one year old ivory BP. I can get him for $300 . Best price I found online so far is $700 for hatchling. Should know this week if I have him. Will post pics asap.

Re: Ball pythons you see and wish you could get

probably for the same reason champagnes are. something wrong with the order of genes.

nevermind, I was thinking about champagne x champagne. maybe it's sort of the same thing, just manifested differently?

Champagne x champagne was proven out this year. It's nothing much to look at. I saw pics fresh out of the egg and it's like an all white snake again with some pinkish hues to it.
