I got a kick out of the one advising folks around the BP cage that "Ball Pythons never shed in one piece - it will always come off in bits and pieces like that " motioning to the poor little arid fellas "they'll have patches on them for a few weeks but it will go away". there are a few chicks at the local Animal Kingdom who have a good handle on what they are selling - but the prices are insane (they have some big burmese they have had in there for years marked at $3-5,000 and easily 50% markup on supplies). Still - theres no where else in town to go lookin.
