I think I am falling for a snake........

[Talkenlate04]

But why did I have to fall for one that is so damn expensive? :?
This lady was at the show yesterday. She is only a few weeks old. And lucky me the owner contacted me to let me know she had not sold in the show. Now I am very tempted. :wall:

Ahh!!! its a pied!!! get it!!!

I dont think i can afford anything outside of the normal range of balls (ugh lmaooo) so I have a normal ball but I also have a recently aquired Brazilian raibow boa pictures below! Get it ryan!!!

 

[halfwaynowhere]

such a pretty piebald... you should totally jump at the chance for that one!

as long as you know about BP's and they could go off feed for months at a time so you won't be panicking and all. Read up on them if it's your first. Here are pic's of my kiddos:

So here is a question. That gene is recessive right? So the only way to get that color to come out in offspring would be to breed her to another piebald male. Correct?

I HIGHLY doubt Id ever breed her, I am more curious then anything else.

What is an expected price for a lady pied? I don't want to get taken to the cleaners for not knowing any better.

Here was the other female in need of a shed. Does that pinkish color stay in the adults?

 

[xchondrox]

the white takes on a pinkish hue when they are nearing a shed. After they shed they will turn back to white. Call me ill get you one cheaper!

 

[halfwaynowhere]

from what I understand about ball python breeding, you could breed her to a normal, and get normal het for pieds. Then you could breed a son back to her, which should give you pieds and normal het for pieds. So you'd be looking at a fairly lengthy process, but still cheaper than buying two pieds.

So what is a good price for one?

freeeee :drool: aghh beautiful baby, I herd they are supper expensive but worth every penny
I love snakes till they 7-8 ft then I try to stay away :}

 

[xBurntBytheSunx]

the piebald balls are so pretty, i wanted to get one till i saw the price

if you could breed it once or twice i'd imagine it would pay for itself though i wouldn't break the bank for it, i'm sure there will be more to buy in the future.

heres a link ryan....

Wow looks like I might have a deal on my hands. She wants 2 even for the female........... they are listed at 2 and a 1/2 on that linked site.
Good grief I can't believe I am thinking about this.

 

[Zoltan]

Somehow I don't like piebalds... dunno why... And yeah, their price is unattractive too. I like normals better. I'm a sucker for any spider though.

 

[gecko_keeper/KBfauna]

I gotta tell ya, pieds are my all time favorite!! It was on my list before I changed completely over to geckos. Good luck with your new purchase!!

if i could i would!!! down in southern cali they are really expensive and now here in idaho, they are almost nonexistent..so i'd have to pay grip to get one out here...

 

[Tarantula_man94]

thats a gorgeous snake, but i think there are better snakes 2 pick from like the rainbow boa or the red tailed boa above.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I saw rainbows in person and for some reason I was not thrilled.

I still think my gf would neuter me if I got it.

 

[kingfarvito]

I'm not a fan of BPs and I mean lets be honest here a fancy colored ball python is just that a ball python

 

[hardlucktattoo]

Im not really a fan of pieds I am in love with super mojaves though th each their own
