anyway, ball pythons are awesome starter snakes, they're hardy and are very low maintanance. I got my first one when i was 11, and they're the best pets i've ever had.. and i've had alot of pets lol. EFHONDA, go the ralphdavisreptiles.com, or prehistoricpets.com, there are designer ball pythons that cost upward to 100,000 bucks, and you can really make some money if you know what you're doing when you breed them =)
