    I’m not sure what this part means - I imagine you would be paying the breeder for the ball python so that cost wouldn’t be added to Reptile Express’ quote. But yeah the import fee + shipping would be $500 based on what you described.

    If you’re in Canada I recommend getting a snake from a Canadian breeder, preferably a local one. Can recommend some good ones if you’re looking. Importing a ball python from another country is super expensive because they are a CITES animal and you need a permit to import them. Shipping is also super expensive even if it’s within Canada because it’s a live animal. It’s also very stressful for the snake and sometimes accidents can happen along the way like the snake getting too cold or warm which may be fatal.

    I would say getting a snake from a reptile show or local breeder is preferable, especially if it’s a first snake. That way you can usually see and hold the animal in person before buying it which makes it easier to spot any health issues and see what kind of personality the BP has.
