I'm not in a hurry but it's definitely something that's crossed my mind several times in the last year. The biggest factor for me is that I'm really frustrated with the 'feeding issues' that some / a lot of keepers have with Ball Pythons. I've thrown more feeders away in the last year then I've fed to him. Plus I never get a chance to see him unless I sneak down to the basement late at night.
So right now, if I do decide to re-home, I don't see myself shipping and I definitely will have a list of questions and requirements to the 'local' potential new owner.
