I'm new to breeding ball pythons but I have owned them for 8 years. Right now I am trying to get together all of my baby females so that they will be ready to make babies in a couple years. I was going to buy a 2012 Lesser girl from RDR but it looks like someone snagged her up. Now I have an extra $500!

I wanted to spend it on a really nice female or maybe two. But then I ran into this guy. He sounds cool, looks cool but is $500 (which includes shipping).

He is a Lesser Yellowbelly FADER. I don't know if I should call that 2 or 3 genes... don't think Fader is actually genetic...What do you think? Is this little guy worth $500? Is Fader and Yellowbelly fun to work with? If I were to get him he would hopefully make babies with my Bumble Bee

Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you!
