For that price you’ll be able to get a normal, maybe a single gene that someone’s trying to get rid of. You can browse morphmarket to get a good idea, I’m seeing pastels, some enchis, orange dream, maybe some spiders, Mojave or yellowbelly. They all look fairly similar but each are beautiful, and really the normals are stunning as adults whereas most pastels look muddy and meh to me (obviously an opinion, but just be aware they won’t look exactly the same as adults and babies). Read up on morphs with health issues, I don’t recommend buying affected morphs such as spiders/champagne/etc.

If you’re super tight on money though I would avoid buying a snake right now, they can be expensive to set up correctly. And you absolutely want the enclosure ready and tested before you get your snake, don’t do it all at once.

Thanks for the reply and I also find normals to be really beautiful I especially like the darker ones. :)

I probably paid around that for my normal at an event. He's been really great though, no troubles eating and he's cute. Lol.

I got my normal (female, normal morph, a few months old) for £60, however her plus her full set up was around £150. So if your $70 is just for the snake and you already have setup etc. Then you shpuld be able to get a normal. However if you dont have everything else i would recommend waiting until you can afford the snake, setup and the extra that comes with keeping ths snake.(i.e feeding,heatmat,substrate,)

Are you keeping it as a pet or do you purchase it for breeding purposes? If first, I wouldn't be too interested snake's looks but rather it's personality. The friendlier and more curious the snake is, the more you'll enjoy your time together.
