The normal ball python that your new buyer paid $80.00 for at Petco is available from that reputable breeder for about $20 - $25.00. People pay $80 at Petco because Petco has a big sign along a major thoroughfare, and everyone knows it's there. The reputable breeder has no sign, and nobody knows he / she exists, except the folks who read online classifieds or go to reptile shows.
The python that breeder charges $150 - $200.00 for isn't the same snake.
