Brad, over 1k is a very pricey tag to put on a ball python.

I recently posted a mojave and a spider at 995.00 and caught some grief about it from another breeder wannabe. they both were extremely nice bps but I wanted to put a FAIR price on them. I guess greed still factors in, in some peoples decision to sell something. not mine!

The albino balls are selling in the 1200.00 - 1500.00 range and are worth that.your never gonna produce tons of a recessive gene ball python, thats what keeps them afloat.
