    The guy i saw was on sale for $60 (the normal, not the banana). The only morph ive seen there other than the banana was a yellowbelly. I honestly wonder where they get these morphs from.

    Our PETSMART right now has 3.

    On one the sign says "Ball Python" and it's pretty small for $59.99.
    The other one says "Fancy Ball Python" and again very small baby for $99.99.
    Then another one that is pretty big (i'm bad at size) but looks to be at least 2 1/2 to 3 feet long that says "Ball Python" for $59.99.

    That's where my son got his Mia. She was "supposedly" a fancy ball and at that time he had no clue what a "FANCY" was but he liked her color so he paid $99.99 for her and for all the issues we had with her when we first got her it was definitely a lesson learned on where to and where not to buy an animal from.

    “fancy” is their generalized term for morphs that they have no clue about, i couldnt remember the term in my post so thank you for bringing that up

    Really?? At Petco???

    Fancy means morph. Around here I see mostly pastels and common morphs labeled fancy. The rarer morphs are usually labeled and higher priced, they had a “banana” ball python recently for $299.99. much better to just buy from an online breeder imo.

    I’ve seen everything from bels to spinnerblasts, even a pied at the petco’s and petsmart’s by my house (I live in the Chicago area). I truly understand how people could get excited, but me personally. I could never buy from them, not knowing what I know. Let alone with the interweb at my fingers. But yeah, the list I’ve seen is long. To bad the big chains squeezed so many specialty shops out of business. But it still blows my mind to see all the crazy morphs they get.
