We have been on the other side of this deal so here's what we will be offering.Our payment plans will be very flexible in an attempt to help our customers afford a quality ball python. We will be accepting a 25% down to hold your animal and requiring the balance to be paid in 6 months with equal payments. We will house and care for your animal at no cost to you but if you dont fulfill your agreement the down payment wll not be refunded. So what does that mean? You fnd an animal you want and the cost is $500.00 including shipping. You send the $125.00 down payment and choose a payment day of the month and send the $375.00 balance broken up into 6 equal payments due on your chosen due date . When the final payment is made your animal is shipped and were both happy!
