I also didn't know there were that many around here... I was about to start considering getting a ball from an out of state breeder. But I ended up getting a male het pied from Petland in FWB. He's been great

Eaten twice for me so far, shed once, and is real sweet. Had some worry of scale rot, but the worrisome scales are gone now, went away with his shed. Other than that, he seems in great health, but I'll definatly look into local breeders instead now if my parents decide my brother can get a ball too..
