How long does it take for a snake that is that much to go down to where a regular person could think of getting one. My favorites are the Bumblebee BP and the Black Eyed Leucistic BP! The Bumblebee seems somewhat obtainable but definitely not the Black Eyed Leucistic!! Also does anyone have any up to date information on the laws on the importation and interstate transportation of these snakes?
Please don't hope something so terrible on the market.

These are ball python morphs and I hope that they stay high in the market for a long time... the morphs themselves took a lot of work and specialized breeding to create and prove. They have already gone down in the market and many hard working breeders are having trouble making the money they deserve.

If your looking to getting morphs, the prices hopefully won't go down for years, but you could look into breeding for the morphs that you want. :]

Interstate shipping is still plenty legal, so it's entirely possible to buy from anywhere in the states and get them shipped to you. However.. you would have to check with your city and state laws to make sure nothings illegal.
