    Getting a BP
    I have been looking strongly into getting a BP for the last eight hours. I am positive I am getting a BP, and I am setting up the cage tomorrow. However, I am going to a reptile show to pick out my snake in 2 weeks. If I do not find the snake I want, I will order it online.
    However,
    • I do not know what morph to get
    • I only have 300 dollars MAX to spend
    • I want a unique snake that doesn't cost thousands of dollars
    • Do you recommend going to a reptile show or buying it online?

    Thank you so much if you took the time to read this, I am very new to the topic of Ball Pythons.

    I'm looking forward to going to the reptile show regardless. My main concern is getting a cool morph, as I can not decide which appeals to me most. I've looked at morphs for 3 hours straight, I need guidance. My price range is 50-300 dollars.

    A lesser platinum is a good start. If your looking to get into breeding start off with a female. They usually for for around 250-300. Rey to get one that ways frozen thawed. A whole lot easier to deal with. What show are you going to?

    I don't understand what you mean by "Rey to get one that ways frozen thawed". However, I do think the lesser platinum's look very cool! I am going to the Havre De Grace Reptile show.

    I just picked up a lesser for $100 at a show here. Normally $225 for my exact snake on their website. I love shows.

    Oh, so you mean one that doesn't eat live mice? I was considering getting a snake that ate frozen mice. I would like to feed it a live mouse once in a while though.

    I'm for sure looking forward to the show. I just want to make sure I can go into the show and know what morphs cost what.

    Well talk to a breeder that has a good selection. Theirs a lot off single gene morphs that you can find for under 300.
