Currently I have 1 ball python who is 42 inches long. I recently aquired a 55 gallon tank, and would like to get a 2nd ball python. I see in the classifieds i can get babies pretty easily and cheaply, but i dont think it will be wise to keep a baby with an adult. My guy is about 5 years old maybe 6. I have found alot of places online to by BPs but they all seem to just deal in extremely expensive morphs.

So can anyone point me to a place where i could cheaply purchase a "regular ole' ball python" nothing special, not a baby. hopefully no smaller than 36 inches in length. male, female, proven breeder, sterile, i dont care. also, im not looking to really spend more than 30 dollars either. thanks for your inputs.

P.S. this is my first post, so if its a dumb question please dont tear me up, if you are going to take the time to reply, please make it positive. thank you.

Probably the best place to check is with a reptile rescue organization if there is one in your area. I am in Colorado, and we have Colorado Reptile Rescue. They frequently have adult snakes. They always ensure the critters are healthy and eating before adopting them out, and the adoption fee for snakes is $40. Try looking for an organization like this in your area. Here is a link to their website, if you want to check it out.

This may be a long shot, but my boyfriend and I have acquired two gorgeous sweethearts from a science and history museum here in our area - people got tired of their snakes and had nowhere to take them, so they "donated" their snakes to this museum, which of course had no use for them. Check the classified ads in your area, humane societies, museums, zoos - you never know where there might be a snake needing a new home, maybe even for free! Plus, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you earned some good karma.
