There are a number of good pied breeders. Kingsnake.com and Fauna classifieds are good places to look.

Generally speaking, pieds vary in price according to the amount of white they carry. A pied that is 70% white for example, will generally cost more than one that is 30% white. The amount of white on the pied you choose is a matter of personal preference, and if breeding is in your future the amount of white doesn't matter as much as the coloring on some morphs. A low white pied can produce high white offspring, and a high white pied can produce low whites.

Female pieds of kind will always be higher than males, regardless of the amount of white. I have seen nice looking low white males for $400 - $500, a low white female on the other hand will generally be $600 - $ 800 depending mainly on size. High white males still fetch $600 - $800, and a high white female can go from $700 - $1000 still. The bigger the animal, the higher the price as well.

If you are looking strictly for a pet, then don't worry too much about sex and just find one you think is attractive.

One of the breeders that comes to my mind who might have a good selection is The Pied Peddler.
