I’m not sure about PetSmart, but at Petco, “fancy” ball pythons are $149. The Spinner I got was in the fancy tank, along with a pinstripe. They also have a category called “rare,” which run $249. Ball pythons I’ve seen in those tanks include Banana, Albino and Genetic Stripe. They sell normals for $69, but I’ve always seen additional signage on the normal tank that says “normal ball pythons 50% off with Pals Rewards” If you’re in the Philly area,there are 2 stores with good selections. My full time gig is in Horsham, and the Willow Grove store is where I got my Spinner. I also work a 2nd job at a Harley dealer North of Philly, so I’ve checked out the Petco stores Feasterville and Bensalem also. They only have normals and said they don’t get much call for snakes. The best selection was the Petco on Roosevelt Blvd. One of the managers there said their GM breeds BP’s and loves snakes. The other night they had 2 Albinos, 2 Genetic Stripes, 1 Banana, 1 Pinstripe and she said they were getting more in on Wednesday, Feb 28th.
I hope that helps.
