Where do you guys get all these different morphs?

[LesClaypool522]

Just a general question about how everyone acquires these pastels and albinos and all the other different kind of morphs. I live north of Pittsburgh about an hour and I have only ever seen traditional ball pythons. Is it the internet? If so, what kind of sites are good for finding morphs?

Reptile shows!! You can also look at www.kingsnake.com and http://www.faunaclassifieds.com. Fauna has a great resource for seller ratings.

Sometimes you can find them on craigslist, and other sites. Be careful though, there are a lot of scammers out there. If you don't trust them check fauna or ask on here.

It's going to depend..
Expo's are a good way to get to see morphs in person and even pick up some of them. Also many breeders will have a website that has animals for sale.

The internet is where a lot of us go to find information about morphs. There are literally hundreds of breeder's websites out there where you can find information and purchase morphs. There are also websites that have 'classified' sections where many breeders post what they have for sale (including this website! http://ball-pythons.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=69).

There are also many reptile shows held all over the country. Some big and some small they provide a great chance to see some morphs in person and meet with different breeders. I did a quick search and you have one in Pittsburgh - http://www.pghreptileshow.com/ - looks like the next show is on December 20th. If you get a chance you should check it out!

I've never purchased a ball online. It's all about going to the expos. You can see and hold the snakes first hand. The first time I went, I was blown away. It opens up a whole new world - especially if you only have Petsmarts & Petcos and their reptiles in your area.
