Hello all,

First I just wanted to mention how great a resource these forums have been in all of the research I have done about snakes and Ball Pythons since I decided to get one. Thank you all for your valuable insights!

I have done some reading and discovered the difference between "captive bred" and "farm raised" BP's and how I definitely want to get a captive bred BP baby, and how most of the big chain pet stores and larger online herp sites are stocked with BP's that are "farm raised". However, most of the real breeders that I have found online are specializing in exotic forms of BP's that are vastly more expensive than what I am looking for. I am a little confused as I just want a captive bred normal BP baby at a decent price...can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
