A pied is just a ball python with a special paint job, usually very pricey..

The price will depend on the amount of white, the more white the higher the price, expect to pay $1300 - $1600 much more for adults of course.

Is a BP a good snake for you? Well it will depends on your expectations and your ability to meet it's need.

Well, temperment isn't based on mutation. Do you mean is a bp a good first snake? Most will say yes, but it depends on the person. Try taking care of your bf's snake and see.

even at a reptile show?:O

Wanted to add, if you're iffy about snakes you might want to start with something a little smaller.

The thing is I was never a snake person but since my bf got one i find myself on here all the time and googling things to find out more about his bp so i feel more comfortable around him. I just get so nervous when Im holding the bp that hes gonna strike at me.:(

His is pretty small.. Not quite sure on the age but hes definately younger then a year. He will post a pic on here soon

Hi,

You might be able to get them cheaper at shows - possibly in the $1500 range I think - it also depends slightly on the amount of white on the animal with high whites being slightly more expensive.

But if that is the type you really like I say go for it. :gj:

It might take a bit longer to save for it but I'm a great beleiver in holding out for the animal you won't mind cleaning up behind for 20 years. :D

As to the biting thing trust me it will seem like such a non-event to you if it ever even happens. :rolleyes:
