i went to the pet store to look today, NOT to buy but they all wanted $99 for eveery Ball python they had. they told me i would never find a cheaper one then what they had. they fed me all kinds of crap. im just glad i was well armed with all the info from this site and the others that i got from the sites you guys told me about. i sent chrisrt talbert an e mail and i hope to hear from her soon. i have also checked ut the other sites posted and im sure i will be in contact with one or more of them. the prices i have seen look great. thanks to all who have helped
