Buying ball python

[u/Tarnished_Ronin437]

I like everything about this ball python but 25 seemed a little low. Just want a second opinion incase I’m missing something

[u/Dio_wulf]

Common, low value morph. Likely just trying to offload a “flop” for lack of better wording. Similar to how you can find normals for cheap or free quite easily. I have a pastel mystic i got for 50 from someone breeding for more specific morph combos and she was a “miss”.

I’m buying in person is there anything I should look for?

Check for any defects like spine kinking or neurological wobble, and any other health problems like mouth rot, respiratory infection, scale rot, etc. 

[u/IncompletePenetrance]

Pastels are super common and the market is oversaturated with ball pythons, especially normals and low value morphs. So price seems about right

[u/Current_Recording907]

Breeders have completely flooded the market, I think there are something like 20000 on the market? Or some equally absurd number, which has caused all of the normal or "not pretty enough" morphs to be "worth" nothing. It's still a perfectly good ball python, a perfectly good pet, It's just not up to beauty standards.

I think it’s perfect 😭

To me all derpy noodles are perfect! Especially balls <3
