I almost Stole it!

Upwards of 1k, usually around 1500+ or so. OD's aren't exactly easy to ID if you're not familiar with them, which is why buying from a reputable breeder is a must. But, if you found what you thought was an OD in a petstore for $40, you could always raise it up and breed it to see if your thoughts were correct.

Just picked up that $40 possible OD. It definitely has a lot more orange coloring than my other normal/harlequin striped ball python, and stood out among all the normals it was kept with. I'll post pics later.
I know it can't be normal! :)

My bps were all bought as what they are and I paid accordingly, but I did just buy a columbian BCI as a normal het albino, and according to the members of this forum she is in fact an arabesque het albino :) We paid 150 for her, and I found arabesque het albinos from a breeder here in Canada for 500 a pop :P So I'm feeling pretty good about that xD

-- She gets here Monday!--

I'm so jealous on all the good deals everyone is finding. I have yet to get a good deal like everyone here. I take that back I think I found a great deal one time on something ( not a Bp ) but of course I was broke at the time lol

Best deal was last year when I bought a local guy's collection from Craigslist (Adult Females - 2 Super Pastels, Lemonblast, Fire. Adult Males - Bumblebee and Fire. And a 6 tier Freedom Breeder rack.) value of around $6,000 for only $2,100. Everything was perfectly healthy and in excellent condition.

Worst deal - Never had one. I always trade up or trade for something that's valuable to ME. And I never sell an animal for less than I'm satisfied with. This is MY hobby and it makes ME happy at ALL times. :P
