    Re: Why have only one spider and pinstipe ever been found in bush?

The bottom line is these so called ball lords are going to sell to the highest bidder. Unless you are one of those high bidders then your not getting anything special out of the bush. Just cause people see pics of a balls habitat in books doesnt mean thats what it looks like in all the places they hide. Alot of the wild caught stuff is found in termite mounds under ground. Under ground is where the water is in alot of parts of togo, benin, and ghana. Balls dont spend most of their lives crawling and cruising above ground so camoflauge is not as big of a thing as some has mentioned here. Sometimes overthinking a situation will get things flawed. The bottom line is the ball python market is a huge multi million dollar market therefore its controlled by money. As with any industry the ones with the money control the market. The ones with the money are the ones who are going to be getting these one of a kind animals. Not some guy from home town usa with a hope and a dream.

    Ever heard of buying a wild caught gravid female? The odds of getting a morph from this are low, but there is still a chance. Last I heard, they sold for around $150.
    Just sayin.
