Re: Need good prices$$$
I believe NERD sells normals for around $30 plus shipping. You'd have to check out their site to check for sure. Unfortuantly I am at work and don't have the web address off hand....

Re: Need good prices$$$
The BEST place would be a local Herp show IMHO. You can meet the seller, look over all the snakes for sale, see if they seem like a honest person, see if the snakes look healthy and see which one you like best.
If you don't mind paying shipping, you can shop from online sellers that have good reputations like 8Ball Pythons here, and similar places.
You might find ball pythons for free or near free in local classifieds, as people who don't want them anymore. But you run the risk of getting a snake with health issues due to poor care given previous to you getting it. Could carry diesese, parasites, or be in poor shape.
Local herp stores are a possibility, although some are not good places, and some don't keep the snakes properly, and the price will be higher than the others. If it's a good shop, with good husbandry, you'll get a good animal, but not cheap.
It's sort of a universal truth. You can have 2 of 3 things regarding Fast, Cheap, Good. Fast and Cheap but it might be unhealthy. Fast and Good, but it won't be Cheap. Cheap and Good but you'll have to have patience for that to occur, since it won't be Fast.
Hope it helps, and make SURE to have the enclosure completely set up and running properly BEFORE you get the snake!

Go with a reputable source you trust, not just the cheapest source imho.

Re: Need good prices$$$
just google reptile shops based on your zip code, look for breeders or small family owned stores, even better would be a local breeder. That way you can get some first hand help and advice with your new snake.

I'd say either a local pet shop like pet supplies plus, petco, or petland... Most of the time they sell them for around 40-50$. But you could try and find a Reptile Expo near you and drive there because usually they sell normals for around 20-35$ sometimes cheaper.

Most of the pet store BPs are wild caught, keep in incorrect conditions and more often than not, unhealthy. I would steer far away from almost any petstore, except for a couple (Hmmm like Zoo Creatures). Wolfy was dead on on her post. I am sure there are some breeders on here who have some normals for sale.
