Best Time to Buy

[mebigbadbrat]

Last night I was searching online for other ball pythons to add to my collection within the next year or two which had me thinking, when is the best time to purchase a BP?

I know breeding season just started so all babies are older so there seems to be good deals out there right now. So in your opinion when is the best time to get new ball pythons and why?

Spring?
Summer?
Fall?
Winter?

Many people breed year round.
The best time to buy is when you find something you like

Agreed. If you see something you like, snag it before someone else does!

When do you think is the best time money wise though? I would think Fall/Winter as everyone is preparing for the new season.

I would say spring.........when the market is flooded with everything.

I prefer having pick of the litter, even if that means I'm paying top market price. I want the best babeh they gots!

I agree, best time to buy is when you find the best snake for you and you have the money to snag it!

I understand. I am just stuck. I want a pied and a few other morphs. Not a lot of pied females to pick from. I have three to pick from. Saw one in pictures looks good but I am not sure if I really want to spend 700 on a snake. I know pieds can go anywhere from 400-1500 depending on a few factors. It is just a lot of money for one snake. I could get the other morphs for a total of 700 but I like the pied more. Darn decisions. Then I don't want to take the chance of missing out on my dream pied either.

IMO, wait. I know it sucks and it's hard, but if that pied doesn't make you go I MUST HAVE...then wait for the one that DOES make you do/think that.

I had one that was like that but the seller was an a** big time. He wouldn't send more pictures, information, or really answer my questions. It pissed me off. Horrible customer service. She was a hot pied. Perfect. If he would of took the time to answer my questions and send more information, she would of sold asap but oh well. That is one bad thing about buying online. I am so picky and want to be treated with respect. A customer should be number one IMO.

Now if I was looking for a male pied, I would have found tons. Maybe I will snag up a male then get a female in the spring. Hmm. I don't know.

Thanks
