kingsnake.com or any local pet shop should have a nice sized normal.

The places I suggest to go to are reptile stores, local breeders, look online for online breeders, reptile expos, and pet stores.
Reptile stores will normally have quite a few Ball pythons so going there would be a pretty good choice.
Local breeders will most likely have healthy Ball pythons that sell for a cheap price which is pretty good.
Online breeders keep their Ball pythons at good health and will ship a live Ball python to your door the very next morning you purchased it. I recommend buying from BHB reptiles or 8BallPythons.
Reptile expos are an ideal place to go to. Breeders from all over the country come to this event that usually occurs once a year in your state and sell their animals and even show off their animals. Here you will find the cheapest and most reasonable prices for a Ball python and guaranteed healthy. Rarely will there ever be any sick or parasite infested Ball pythons at a show because there are many big breeders that attend these shows and have healthy snakes.
Pet stores would definitely be a last resort since their reptiles and amphibians won't always be guaranteed healthy. Luckily, the reptiles I purchased from Petsmart are all in good health. The ones I have purchased from Petco have not done well at all. All of them mainly died besides one who is very aggressive but I no longer own him. Pet stores do not always take great care of their reptiles, so if there is a reptile expo coming up I really recommend going to check it out for some great Ball pythons at low prices.

If you find a local breeder you could probably find a Pastel for about $100. But if thats realy too much. I see Normal BPs in pet stores for about $40-60.
