In today's market it seems ball pythons are among the most versatile herp options. Apart from the proven morphs that comand unusually high prices, there is a miriad of intermediate alternatives. I was puzzled by an ad posted today offering farmed balls at $55 shipped! Once the shipping costs are deducted the price is probably close to what a normal corn snake will go for, although they come all the way from Africa! Then we have the other extreme (always talking about normals). A fancy name (laberinth, reduced, busy, etc.), is attached to a slightly weird normal, and the price tag is US$1,000. What other herp offers this spread in prices?
