I was shopping around at the local pet stores with my son, and we fell in love with the ball pythons. The problem was that the stores were selling morphs that were cool, but weren't worth the money to us. I mean, the 100 dollar regular snakes were just as cool to us as the 500 dollar pied ones.
So we headed to a local pet store. they had regular ball pythons for 50, but they said they would only ever feed live because freezing destroys the 'nutrients'. I think that sounds dumb. I read that it is hard to wean a ball python to frozen once it eats live..and I don't want to feed live.
So, a guy told me to try this place out. But it's overwhelming! I don't know where to start. I just want to find a decently priced, healthy, normal ball python-preferably local to my area of North Atlanta so I can pick it up instead of putting it through the stress of shipping. How would I go about that?
