Whether it's a ball python or other herp, "cheap" is a four letter word. Most often the old saying "You get what you pay for." proves itself over and over again. But what really gets me is when I hear "I can't afford to...... or I don't have the money to ......., which is usually associated with getting medical/vet care for a herp. When you decide to get an animal, you are responsible for it's care and health, period. I think a lot of people don't add this to the equation when deciding to get a herp, but it should be.
