Looking for my first BP morph

[Austin236]

I want to buy a Male Ball Python Morph. Im looking to spend from $100-$300 what are good looking morph's to choose from within these price ranges was looking into an Albino found one around $300. I would also like to buy a snake from someone in South Florida if possible.

I think a Spider BP would be a great choice. They go for about $125-$175 at kingsnake classifieds. Spiders are known to be curious, good eaters and a great base mprph for breeding.

Here are some pics of my new Spider:

Mostly depends on whatever catches your eye. Get what you like, there is more in that range then you think. Albino, Spider (both good ideas) You could also possibly get a mojave, lesser, pinstripe, pastel, cinnamon for in that area.

That's what i was thinking about, im just worried about the increased chance of IBD.

Really wow ok i think i might go with an albino always liked them plus im looking for a male for breeding too so it'll be cheaper.

Hi,

I'm not sure I follow this bit?

But it really does boil down to getting a snake you like and will be happy to scoop poop for day in day out for 20-40 years.

Also bear in mind with recessives you will need to have the albino gene (for example ) in both parents to get a visual offspring.

I don't have much to add behind that being that you have it pretty well narrowed down. Just good luck with whatever you decide to go with. You shouldn't have any problems finding one around South Flordia being that there are alot of good breeders in that area. Please post pics. when you recieve him

You could even get two morphs for that... Pastels are pretty cheap(50-100) if you look hard enough

I thought Spider BP's have a higher risk of IBD...

Not at all..

They just have an inclination to wobble.
