How much do Ball Pythons Cost?


Answers:
Pet store prices are usually between $40 and $100. You can pick one up at a reptile show for $15, but I wouldn't recommend those. They are most likely captive hatched ones from Africa, and usually come with a lot of problems, but the pet store ones are usually captive hatched as well.

You can pick up a captive bred one from a local breeder or reptile show for about $50 to $150 depending on sex and color/pattern.

Then you can get into Ball Python morphs which can run into the thousands of dollars. An Albino Ball is about $1,500 and a leucistic one (all white) is about $10,000 right now.
they can range $100 on up.
I was in my pet shop today, and they have a baby for $80. That might be on the low side, though, I'm not sure.
I got mine for $25 as a baby from a dealer 7yrs ago but at that age nowadays they could run anywhere from 35 to 95 dollars though they are often on the high or higher side of the spectrum. (U.S.). They sell different vairiations to up the price (golden, dusky, heavily bullseyed, light colored, ect.)
My nephew paid $90. for his baby ball python. Then there was added expenses of the cage, nutrients, lights, and bedding that did not have mites.
20 to 100
the shop i work at has babys for 35, adult males for 50, and adult females for 75. all eating well and in good shape.
