Do people really buy these??
** Not intended to diss or offend this company **
I'm just looking at videos on youtube, then came upon Underground Reptiles. So, I went to there website to see the types of ball pythons there selling. And everything seems too overpriced. There all normals! No hets or anything. I'm wondering if people really spend $250+ on normals. Not even breed able size.

I believe people pay those kinds of prices for those "normals" because of their dinker qualities. Could be genetic, or could just be a really expensive normal.  But to answer your question, yes people really do spend $250+ on normals that could possibly prove to be something more. Not practical, in my opinion, but hey, if you have the money, good luck!

Re: Do people really buy these??
Some of those dinkers are cool, but I agree...overpriced. Number 9...is sweet, but not $700 sweet. Why gamble $700 on something that COULD be genetic...when you can get a pewter, or YB pastel AND a female normal for that much?

Exactly! But someone with "money to gamble" will take that chance.

You could be right, But spending big money on a dinker that has the possibilities of not being genetic is still crazy for me. I think people who don't know much about balls would be the ones purchasing a normal/dinker for that amount.

Re: Do people really buy these??
Hmmm,
Snake wise I like 4,7,12,21 and 9 - but I'd want to see a decent headshot of 9 'cos something looks hinkey from that angle. 
Price wise not a hope in heck I'd pay those prices for them.
Then again I'm not really a gambling man.
