fire ball

Shadow4108 May 09, 2007 11:30 AM

I saw a few bp's at the local herp shop. They were advertised as fire ball pythons and were going for about 100.00. The only noticable differece I saw was on one that had white lines almost comming up the sides. I really liked it, but want to make sure I'm paying the extra money for something "special". Anyone got pics of fires I can compare?

Thats not a fire. I dont think you can find a fire ball for $100 i think they go for a pretty penny. But sometimes when ball pythons have faded white sides some people call them flames. As far as i know this is not genetic just pretty looking. Hope this helps.

It takes less effort to google "fire ball python" then it does to make your post!

Run that search, you'll find plenty of pics.

PS: Those "fire balls" for a hundred bucks are normals, probably CH and probably make the store 90$ profit or more.

Typical Pet Shop marketing "scheme" aka "scam"!
