$200? There are baby ball pythons of various morph combos at any show you go to for sale at well over $10,000. Then the breeders get upset that they don't sell, as allot of them get into it to make money, with no passion for the animals whatsoever. There is a company called ballbids, that runs a penny auction ball python site. And so far as is apparent, there its almost no evidence of them caring about the animals they are selling. I have no absolute evidence of any wrongdoing by them. This is a disclaimer, so they hopefully don't threaten to sue me too, as that is one thing they seem to be proficient at.
Point being, that there are enough people into breeding balls, that it is becoming the same as the puppy mills.
