So I have been looking at various breeding sites and companies just to get a feel for the costs of some of these snakes. While I think all the morphs are amazing, I'm not really willing to spend $300+ on my first snake. I'll be going to the Richmond Va expo at the end of October, and maybe find something there, but here's my question:

All these morphs are fairly price - the cheapest are usually in the $75 -100 range, but very few of the breeders online have normal ball pythons listed. Is it that this is such a common color that they just don't advertise it, and if they have them, but no one advertises, then are they less expensive than the morphs?

I'm truly curious about the lack of the 'seemingly' most common pattern type on these site, and potential cost. All I really want is a healthy young snake that at least eats well most of the time
