Have patience and keep looking. I picked up a 600g 0.1 pewter on Fauna about six weeks ago for $365 shipped. At the time there was also one advertised here for a little more.

Also join any FB groups for local (to your area) ball python and reptile groups so you can see what the hobbyists near you are producing. As was pointed out, many of them have waiting lists for certain animals. I have an order in with a local breeder for a 0.1 pied if he produces one from a clutch that should hatch in mid-July (fingers crossed).
