Thoughts on ball python price for first time owner please

[AKA Dave]

I've seen a lots of people getting "good deals". Usually, its new or inexperienced breeders building a collection. They'll buy everything they can find that's inexpensive. They sacrifice quality for quantity. There is however a big difference between a good deal and an inexpensive purchase. A good deal depends on the individual. Does the animal make the pet owner happy? Does it work for a breeders plans? A good deal is one that works for you. I can find an inexpensive, beautiful axanthic ball python for a low price. Only probem is I don't work with the any axanthic projects. So really, I'd end up needing more axanthic animals too.

Exactly. I've been guilty of pouncing on a good deal from time to time. At least in my case they were! Or at least I think so, and I suppose that's all that should matter. If the Lemonblast is something that you would like to have in your collection and you like her I say go for it.
