Prices were slashed I guess due to so much competition there. I heard several breeders talking about the ridiculous prices stuff was going for, almost to the point of killing the market for them..... There were several drab run of the mill low contrast albinos there for around $200-300. I saw this guy for the same price as those and had to jump on it. Saw him initially and took notice but wanted to check out options and prices first. The guy said he wasn't big into ball pythons and was the only one he had so just wanted to get rid of it. It was labeled as a female but pretty certain its a male. Luckily he was still there when I came back, I'm surprised he didn't sell right away at that price. He's just so vivid in color and my favorite color just happens to be orange.
