The local chain pet stores (PetCo, PetSmart, etc.) are all selling baby ball pythons for $80. There's another store called Savanna Exotics, an independent store owned by a friend of a friend, selling babies for $40. I was a little suspicious of such a huge drop in price, but the owner said they just "get a better deal" from the breeders. Your thoughts?
I see you live in MI- the best reptile store around is Stingers Exotics on Plymoth Rd. in Livonia. They are great people and take wonderful care of their animals!

And you you think thats a big differnce- I was in a pet store yesterday (Petland) and they had a normal male BP for $180- it was a pretty snake (course I think they all are), but I just laughed and said good luck selling it! But I did almost buy the rose hair... lol
