Re: Thoughts on ball python price for first time owner please
Anyone?

when you get sub 250 dollars morphs the prices get pretty blurred, might see lemonblast going for 50 buck might see them for 200. just depends on quality and how badly the breeder wants to move the animal.

Re: Thoughts on ball python price for first time owner please
I think $100 is a fair price for a lemon blast female but quality will play a big part. If its already starting to brown out it then don't buy just to get a deal

It's often been said that one should "shop the snake, not the price". Obviously, you have to stay within your means...but the real trick to a "good deal" is finding the snake you REALLY want...one that you fall in love with....and that is still within your means and willingness to pay. THAT is a good deal.

I've seen a lots of people getting "good deals". Usually, its new or inexperienced breeders building a collection. They'll buy everything they can find that's inexpensive. They sacrifice quality for quantity. There is however a big difference between a good deal and an inexpensive purchase. A good deal depends on the individual. Does the animal make the pet owner happy? Does it work for a breeders plans? A good deal is one that works for you. I can find an inexpensive, beautiful axanthic ball python for a low price. Only probem is I don't work with the any axanthic projects. So really, I'd end up needing more axanthic animals too.

Exactly. I've been guilty of pouncing on a good deal from time to time. At least in my case they were! Or at least I think so, and I suppose that's all that should matter. If the Lemonblast is something that you would like to have in your collection and you like her I say go for it.

Best bet is to try and do research on the breeders talk to them, ask them a million and one questions. I researched for two months about different breeders and animal pricing for the exact morph I wanted to buy in my price range.
