I've been researching ball pythons for 3 + months, but haven't gotten around to actually buying one.
There is a few reptile stores near me, Most rescues I think so the chances of buying a wild bred python is high.

I'm thinking of buying one from a big chain store, Petland, petco, petsmart etc. I've asked a few of em where they got their pythons from, they said breeders. So i might go with them.

I'm just wondering if anyone bought a python, or any snake for that matter from a big chain store, and is it doing alright / no signs of wild caught?

Also I live on long island - middle part.
