    You could actually get a pastel male really cheap. I got mine for 150 and sometimes you can find breeders that have to many and would get rid of them cheaper...like 100. But it just depends on who you buy from and if its that time that they have a surplus.

    I was actually just looking at Graziani reptiles' website, and they've got a male pastel for $250 - I found a normal het for albino for $100. Those sound like really good deals. I've heard his name around the BP community somewhere - I just can't remember where. I believe it's a morph of some sort. Maybe a pastel or something.
    I'll make sure to keep an eye out, though. I think that pastels are the most beautiful (other than leucistic and pied) that i've seen around. I'd love to get my hands on one. I'd prefer a female, but it's harder to find a het or even a pastel for what i'm looking at. I'll find one eventually, though. :) Patience is a virtue.

    I'm going to find a copy of that and check it out. Is there anywhere in particular you'd recommend going to find it? I imagine e-bay and half.com would have it, but if i'm going to spend the money on the book, it should go to the person who wrote it. Would you say it's a good guide to breeding and more advanced knowledge?

It has everything: Ton of morphs with pictures and histories, everything you need to know about breeding, feeding, husbandry. Pretty much all you need to know about a ball python besides anatomy type stuff.

    The link that was already given to you will allow you to buy the book directly from NERD, which is owned by Kevin McCurley, who wrote that book. So it is the best way to get the money to the person who wrote it! :) I have not personally read it, but everyone seems to think it is a fabulous book and it does include advanced stuff including stuff about breeding.

    Another book that is very highly recommended is Pythons of the World, Vol II: Ball Pythons, by the Barkers who own VPI. Here is a recent thread comparing the 2: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=58994

    What Casey said is correct. You have to order it from the guy himself, which is the link I provided.

    Oh, ok. Great! Thank you so much for the info. :) I'll probably wait a month or two before I get it, but i'll keep that website bookmarked.
    Okay, cool! I'll check that out, too. :)
