As for the price differences I wasn't sure if that depended on whether or not they were born in captivity or from the wild, from what I have seen so far all the cheaper pythons are quite beautiful and will do just fine for me.
I would look for captive bred ball pythons for sure and avoid buying one from places like Petco. You will find lots of good breeders on here and other sites. You will generally get a healthier animal from a good breeder than from a big box pet store.
