Reputable Ball Python Breeders That Ship Online

Hello, this is my first of many posts. I have had a bearded dragon for a few years now, and I am currently an active member of Beardeddragon.org. (not that I am trying to advertise)

I'm really into researching and finding out everything I can about animals before I buy them. I have been thinking about getting a Ball Python for a few months now, and have read everything about temperature, housing, feeding, handling, etc.

Now, I have the tank set up. The only thing missing is the snake itself :-).

I have a petco less than 5 minutes away, but have read MANY times not to buy a BP from a petstore. I agree with this strongly, and thats why I didn't buy my bearded dragon from a store.

I'm trying to find a reputable ball python breeder online that is willing to ship. Now, I know I should expect to spend more on this than I would in the petstore, but after buying the tank, and accessories; I find myself on a tight budget. The ones they sell at Petco are 79$. I'm not looking to spend much more than that. I don't want to sound cheap, but that is just my budget. The setup I have cost me over 200$. So I'm looking to cut as many corners as I can. I have enough to feed and take care of the snake, so don't think I'm poor.

Is anyone here willing to sell a juvenile BP for about the same price as the one at petco? I'm willing to spend 90$, and that is as high as I can go. I will let anyone know anything about the setup I have, and I can show pictures to proove that I will take correct care for this animal.

Thanks!

Lawrence has a male ball python that would fall right in that range, here's his ad.
