    I'm in Central Texas(Waco actually). I know MPenn is in east TX over in Tyler, so you might try contacting him. If he doesn't have any babies, I have a normal male you can have if you want him. He's a very aggressive eater and doesn't mind being handled.

    If you can wait a month or two, there are two reptile shows in December. One is in Austin, the first weekend of December(www.austinreptileexpo.com) and there's one in Arlington the 2nd weekend of December(www.texasreptiles.com). There will be tons of Ball Pythons from quality breeders(the austin show moreso than the arlington show). Both shows are fun though :)

    Not advertising, nor is it going to be a sale. If he had the proper set up ready, it would be a gift.

    That's fine. It's still best to take that part of the deal to private messages. Good luck with that to both of you! I hope it works out. :)

    Hello. newbie to newbie here....

    When I was out looking for a BP we had gone to a pet shop (wont name it but one of the big chains) to see what they had. there was a young normal male. Anyway long story short my girlfriend and I had decided to get him and at the register after everything added up we were looking at $280 for tank, bedding, light bla bla bla. The snake (normal BP) was $100 by himself. Like I said, I am newbie. Well heres something strange. I gave them my debit card to pay and it would not go through. ran it a couple times but it just would not go through. So im all mad at the bank and all looking like an idiot in line with all this stuff and its a no go at this point. Well we left empty handed and the following week I found a reptile breeder/shop that I got a better looking snake with the needed extras for $150. Big differnece in price huh?

    I would say just do your research online and you will find the deal you are looking for. Always trust your gut on things as well. If your not comfortable then dont make the online purchase.
