We are getting ready to purchase our first ball python… It will be a beloved pet for my daughter and I and we can't wait to get it. The Atlanta reptile show (Repticon) is in two weeks exactly and we had all but narrowed down our choice of snake to a blue-eyed Lucy.
I really can't see us breeding so honestly the genetic make up of the snake is secondary… We just want something healthy and hopefully calm and easy to handle. It will be a pet that we will interact with fairly often… My six-year-old daughter and myself.
I've been trying to research some of the vendors that will be at the show to look for feedback and also see if they may have the snake we're looking for. Our budget is about $300.
We did come across a really cool looking Sterling Bee they local breeder and he's been very friendly and a great communicator. He sent us a video of him handling it and it seems relatively calm even though it has to little bit I'm assuming that's normal. He is asking $300.
I just wanted to get some opinions of the snake I would looks, how it's priced etc.… My little one has her heart set on a really bright white snake like the leucistic so part of me wants to wait till the show just to see if they have something there but just not sure if my amateur eyes would be able to tell if there were issues with the snake etc. just not super knowledgeable about Ball Pythons.
Main goal is to find something pretty and calm but hopefully he is feeling on F/T.
There is a video of the Sterling Bee ball python that we are looking at.. The back is welcome… Thanks in advance!!
