New ball python over a year old and only 166 grams!

I don't know this for a fact but I would bet that the sick animals get culled because it is cheaper to cull them than to treat them.

Well... I've spoken with two exotic vets in my area and neither see a whole lot of normal ball pythons or common boas as patients, just the more expensive morphs.

Take that for what you will.
