I have now come to realize that on all forums of reptile web-sites and message boards, the ball python is one of the most celebrated topic in some way or another. It is now neck to neck with the leopard gecko and corn snake forums of the above. it seems that it has surpassed the burm trade of keeping, breeding and traits/morphs breeding of past. AND it seems any factor of the ball python of the latter sentence has held prices fairly stable or longer with several high end prices. Even in the competitive market ! Man, the only thing that got close to this was the gray-banded kingsnake and it was mostly due to locality and that really didn't keep the prices up for very long and never prices seen like that of ball pythons and other. What's my point ? Just an observation by me and opinion.........

I am fairly new, and not too much experience at all at buying/selling anything.....but if I had to guess I would say its because of their size, temperament, availability, ease of breeding, and the part where people hear python and they are immediately intigued....but just a newbie's response
