Looking for baby BP in AZ

I live in the Phoenix area and Im looking for any private/home breeders that might sell me a baby ball python at a fair price. The pet stores here have them for 29 bucks right now but I think those are just captive hatched which I hear isn't good to buy? If you can help/or no someone who can please email me at Aaron12@prodigy.net Im only looking to spend at most 40 bucks.

i bought mine at a pet store here,he is a captive hatched too. no mites,he eats well and he is very very friendly. sorry i dont know of any bredders but i just thought i would let you know about the captive hatched guys

Petland on Wetmore in Tucson had young BP's for $38 this week. Of course, Tucson isn't exactly around the corner for you.

In late August, the local Herp club will be having their annual show down here in Tucson. If you can make it, it'll probably be worth your while. This will be third or fourth year for the show. The first year, I heard it was a bit disappointing. Last year, they had a lot more vendors, and the hall they used was really too small for the number of people. This year, they're moving up to a larger facility. If you haven't found a BP by then, you might want to check it out. They only allow captive bred animals to be sold. No wild caught, and as I recall, no wild-bred, but captive hatched either. Let me know if you want the details, though I'll probably post them here on the forums as the event gets closer.

You may want to check out some breeders that sell online. Many people here have gotten bp's that way.

Yeah online breeders isn't an option for me, they ask way too much for their snakes and I dont like the idea of paying EVEN MORE for shipping and handling.
