With the explosion of ball pythons morphs all over the internet and everyone trying to "cash in", there really aren't great deals on importing ball pythons morphs like there use to be.

These days, you're really better off buying a captive bred morph. The price is just about the same and you'll have soo many fewer problems. The trappers and farmers in Western Africa are business men with internet access and they know what the stuff they have is worth over here.

"New stuff" that is found is grabbed up to the "big guys" in big package deals that run 50K - 150K and up. Sometimes even the "big guys" get burned badly on these deals.

If you're looking to spend a little more than normal on something "odd" in hopes that it may prove to be something new, some of the more reputable people working with large numbers of CH imports might be able to help you out.
