Does anyone know any breeder who will sell them for a good price and a good quality? I honestly dont want anything fancy just a nice biak or wamena that will grow up to a nice green color. I don't want any mite phase or other special morphs. Just cheapish and good quality. Thanks for any help
Where to find nice quality and cheapish GTP's?

You know if you want quality, you gotta spend a little extra. Honestly, its worth the extra cash in the end, you dont want to get sold a bad snake or anything you know?
Yeah much like tattoos.... good snakes ain't cheap and cheap snakes ain't good
most likely any cheap gtp's you find will be imports... which means in bad condition, infested with parasites, and nasty temperaments....
better to find a good breeder... captive bred healthy animals.... biaks will run around $500 at least
wamenas about the same...maybe down to $300... I have never seen a gtp of any type under $250 though

I've been looking around as well. I learned that:
Most GTP aren't cheap, and if I found a cheap animal I would be skeptical of its health and condition even from a reputable breeder (as per personal experience), because they would easily be worth more otherwise.
I have found that older generation WC are cheaper, but it's because they're prone to problems.
I'm expecting to pay $650 CDN for a CB Aru hatchling that comes from decent parents (blue line dam, bright blue sire) in a few months locally.. I think it's fair.

Jason from Colorado Chondros has some true USCBB Aru's that he is selling for $350 shipped. Given the cost of Fed Ex shipping that's a very good deal. Never met the guy but have heard nothing but good things about him.
A while ago Terry Phillip from the Chondro Coalition had some zoo born Aru X Biaks that he was moving for a very good price given their size. Last time I talked to him I did not ask what he had left. You should at least email or call him and tell him your budget. He always seems to have some misc specimens he's trying to find good homes for. His contact info should be on the Chondro Coalition website. I think his personal website is something like BlackHillsPythons.com.
If you want a baby you can raise up then Jason might be the guy to talk to. If you'd prefer something a bit more established and with some size on it then Terry may very well have something you'd like. Terry didn't pair up many of his adults last year so I don't believe he has much in the way of babies.
