fell in love...

with an angolan python today but i dont have $1000.00 to go and spend on a snake. i cant wait til these start to be bread more here in the states so i can afford one someday. if u dont know about them go check them out, if u like BP's u will like angolans

that's my dream snake...they are still fairly pricey but great dispositions and super beautiful!

I concur:gj:

What about the hybrid Angolan Ball. Idk how you feel about hybrids but they look pretty cool.

I saw some babies selling at the Phoenix Reptile Expo for $400 if I'm not mistaken. I guess they are cheaper at expos.

Burm Balls are the definite best hybrids I have ever seen. I have yet to see one in person but hell I would totally own one if I could.

Angolans are gorgeous. And a lot more expensive here in Canada... Like $2300.00 each.

Hybridizing would increase the cost, not decrease it...

if i had an angolan i would only breed it with angolans. keep the blood line unchanged for a while. im not against hybrids as long as it doesnt get out of control. in the wild im sure angolans and balls mate all the time and make some pretty cool offspring. im very curious so see the impact angolans have on balls in the next 10 yrs

You should get a chance to buy this summer/fall. With each season, their prices have gone down. I saw one at the last Havre de Grace show, I think it was $700 but it had some size to it. Probably a yearling.

Good Luck!

i guess they were first imported to germany, so i wonder if they are cheaper there? the Euro is a bit more expensive but maybe the german breeders have something cool goin on over there with them. im gonna try and find out, if i can ill post some pics

i found some pics of hybrid angolan balls produced by NERD but i didnt want to jack their pics.
