    Ball python morphs
    What are some interesting ball python morphs out there that are generally reasonably priced? Lets say 200 and less.

    For something different you are gonna need a different budget.

    Oh I know they are not cheap and believe the better morphs are more than worth thier money. Just looking to see what there was is that price range is all.

    If you limit yourself to hatchling males, which would be the cheapest of the morphs, you could add Specter, Phantom, Mystic, Enchi, combos like pastel yellow belly, pewter, firefly, spinner, pastel hypo...

    If you want a female, one with some size on it, a proven breeder, etc. then the list gets a lot shorter.

    However, if you brought your 200 bucks to a show, you might be able to pick something interesting up that wouldn't usually appear in your budget. Typically vendors don't like going home with animals from a show, you might get lucky on sunday afternoon.

    this is an interesting topic because pricing if you know where to look...especially this time of year, is getting crazy. Females double genes are hard to come by at that price limit...Pewters, Lesser Pastels etc...maybe. You could literally get three gene males for that $200.00 real easy, real easy if one of the genes is either Spider or Pinstripe. So just look around.

    I like the look of pastels and lesser but im not such a big fan of spider or pinstripe I think they are all great just like some more than others. I plan to do alot of shopping and I may up my budget some. Like I said I have a normal now had for few months and ive been hooked and on a learning spree ever since. Cant wait to have more.

    How about a Bumblebee or Firefly? I've seen both under $200. My wife got my Pastel Tiger shipped for $150. Take your time, look around the net and FB, figure out what you like, want, or want to make and go from there. Apparently some people up north want to ship snakes out now before it get's too cold, so you could find deals there too...

    You will probably have more choices by then too. With the flood of coral glows hitting the market I've watched their prices drop from about $750 in June to $300 lately. Same with Bamboos. They were $10k earlier this year and I seen one sell recently for $2,500.

    We don't like going home with all the same animals, everyone I know expects me to bring something new home, at least to play with for a couple weeks before rehoming.

    You are corredt though, cash money talks....i picked up my VPI axanthic female for $200 last month

    Another word of advice is to hang out and browse the show, observe if people are readily spending money or if everyone seems to be browsing.

    The mid to end of a slow show is hands down the best time to get a deal, costs a lot of money to set up at shows and most vendors do a few shows a month. Lots of fast food, convenience stores, hotels, gas, and don't forget tables although that is probably the lowest expense.

    I live in the cincy area. They changed the location of that show (if we are talking about the same one) I believe it's in Fairfield now. They have a huge variety there.

    You should also ask how flexible they are on their prices. Most will come off their price some if you inquire.
