Breeding-size females are worth much more than that alone, so I doubt you'll find a pair for $75-$100. Unless they're WC non-feeding junk but even they're going for a higher price.

Christine, Jen is absolutely correct. You may find males that fit your needs at that price, but look around....you won't see a breeding age female for anywhere near that low of a price, especially with the proper equipment to keep her in good enough health to be breeding.

My advice to you would be to start with a good healthy captive bred baby or 2, which you should be able to get in your price range....and grow him/her/them up. But make sure you have all of the enclosures set up properly before you get them, so you know that they will grow into healthy animals that will produce healthy babies. Learn all you can keeping them as pets before deciding to dive right into trying to breed. It's a lot more fun as well as rewarding that way.

OKay do you know anyone selling a baby male and female for 50-75 ....

You will find small females for that much, but probably not a pair. Then you will more than likely have to pay at least $50 for shipping.

well bill do you have any for a pair for 50 -75?

I don't think you will find anyone with a pair for 50-75.

If you want them dirt cheap then buy some in april or may for $10 ea.

A real good price on a captive bred pair of normals would be $100 to $125 Christina. That does not include shipping which would be around $50 so you are looking at a minimum investment of around $150 to $175. The only animals you could get at the price you quoted would be farm raised imports

I think you shouldn't worry about getting a breeding pair right off the bat. I assume you are new to this and have alot to learn about these animals. The first thing you want to do is make sure you have a good setup to keep your new snakes in. I suggest reading this caresheet for ball pythons and making sure your cage or enclosure meets the requirements for keeping these snakes.

Then after you have that setup and working well, then purchase a female ball python to raise up to breed. They take longer than the males to raise to breeding size. Then after you have success raising up the girl you can purchase a male to breed her with. Below are some good links to sites with good info. Good Luck.
