Saweeet! i havnt come across another herper in smalltown alaska, sometimes ive just thought it was me, i mean i've met some in ancorage but not many small towners. i live in juneau and of course they'll be people will one or two snakes but im pretty much the only guy totally interested, and the prices here at the pet store are rediculous! for a normal ball python hatchling its $100 dollars, plus supplies and caging throw on another $150. but i have had some trouble with shipping also because of the whole alaska thing, but ive got a nice dealer now
