Technically you can get a normal HET for something for ~200 :gj:
If you don't know what het is, this is a great reference for BASIC knowledge http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-BP-Morph-FAQs
another thing, I would probably get a female first :D
I'm sure you'll one day decide that you want to breed haha. When that day comes, hopefully you'll have a female that's ready to breed, or closer to breeding weight! Also they get bigger! ^_^
