    Buying a new bp

    Hello! I'm looking to get a new bp with my tax refund and I'm looking to spend around $200 for a new hatchling or sub adult. I'm debating a male pinstripe or a female pastel. If anyone has a helpful opinion I would really appreciate the wisdom. Also if you know of any other morphs in my price range feel free to mention them. Thanks for the help!

    Check out kingsnake.com or fauna classifieds. Plenty to chose from in that price range. Just don't forget to factor in shipping...

    I will be looking at those places. I can't believe I forgot about them. As long as shipping isn't too bad I plan to spend more than just $200 but I can't let myself spend more than that on the actual snake.

    Re: Buying a new bp

    I'd go with a female, plenty in your price range....

    Albino(possibly)
    Hypo
    Cinnamon
    Black Pastel
    Mojave
    Het Red Axanthic
    Pastel
    Pinstripe
    Spider
    Woma
    Granite
    Sable
    Fire
    Spotnose
    Yellowbelly

    Any number of normal hets...

    And with a little more in depth exploration, on the right day, you could probably find more within your price range...

    Enchi
    Butter/Lesser
    Chocolate

    No reason at all to forget CL.....we rehomed our snake and couldn't be happier. The OP may find a good deal and rehome a snake that could have ended up in a much worse place.

    Its not all bad. Craigslist is where I found a local breeder that I got my firefly from, ballpythonsunlimited. He was very professional and has beautiful snakes. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

    That being said, I do realize craigslist is a breeding ground for scammers. Just do your research and put your hands on the animal before handing over the cash. When I use craigslist it is local pick up only, cash only...
