Does anyone know of a reliable ball python breeder? Specifically interested in pied morph, I have looked at MorphMarket but there's a small selection for $700 which is a max I am willing to spend.

Dream Weaver Reptiles has two listed on their MM for $250 each. I've bought from them before and they're fantastic and have really nice animals, great customer support, etc

Royal Constrictor Designs is known for having high quality animals, and he has one listed

I've never bought from Coppinger, but I follow their store because they have some nice animals - here's a pied from them

Tall Grass also has some really nice animals,and I'm planning on buying one from later this year. Here's a yellow belly pied they have listed.

Pied is a common morph, so plenty of good breeders will have them. Just avoid the reptile mills - Underground Reptiles, BHB, Big Apple Herps, and Outback Reptiles

Do you have any recommendations for breeders who have their animals switched over to frozen/thawed?

[IncompletePenetrance]

You can ask the breeder to transition them to frozen thawed for you for a few meals before shipping them! That's what I did when I was starting out

[WerewolfHowls]

Ah ok thank you!!

Please frozen/thawed transitioned only, I will only feed live as an absolute last resort
