Is anyone at all, ever, interested in purchasing or trading for baby or adult normal (non-morph in any way) Ball Pythons? What does everyone do with these little guys when they hatch in clutches?

Feel free to email me directly if your method is not forum friendly, I am just curious, not judgemental.

i think lots of folks sell them to local pet shops.

i always offer my normals and possible hets to folks who are purchasing other snakes from me. often buyers have a kid or a neighbor that wants a snake, and this way, that newbie has someone with experience right there to help see they do it right. i never have a problem finding good homes for them this way.

Get some newbies hooked.

i know i have talked to a couple bigger breeders (that breed for a living not for hobby) who will buy them from you at whole sale bulk prices. I also know that lll supply usually buys at whole sale as well, otherwise like previously mentioned alot of people will sell to a pet store.

I give away most of my males to young kids interested in getting into snakes. I find after giving away these normal males the kids come back and want females and / or morphs down the road. I have local pet stores that I sell normal's to also.

I bring them to a local place and trade them for feeder and breeder rats.
