The Cost of Owning a Ball Python

Good Morning, Reptilians!

How much does a ball python cost? Well, here it is. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this much. I didn’t realized that this is how much the initial setup cost, and it shocked me. Keep in mind that these prices do change often (some have changed since I made the video), so it's not going to be 100% accurate all the time.

It’s been pointed out to me that I say “distilled water” in this video. I mean purified, not distilled. Sorry, in life I use “distilled” interchangeably.
