The bad thing about buying from this store is that not only do you not know what type it is you don't know the genetics, could be het pied, het axanthic, het albino, etc... The price depends on the genes, if you don't know that you can't accurately price this snake. Probably should inform the pet store that if they knew the genetics they could get more (or less), probably have to find out the breeder they got it from and contact them directly. I'd say this pet store doesn't have a clue about ball pythons.
