What to choose!

[Vesper]

Oh man. I have been searching and searching. Especially looking at local ball python breeders, because I'm a bit iffy about shipping them. I know people do it all the time, but...its not so much the shipping as it is...who to trust. Of course, if any of you have someone to shout out for that you get awesome BPs from through shipping, you're more then welcomed to let you know.

Anyway. So one of the local ones has some Cinnamons for sale. I've looked up some adult pictures and they are gorgeous. And then, I'm wandering around and there's other. A mocha I really like, and this normal with some nifty markings that I just can't seem to stop staring at.

I have no idea what to do. XD There's so many to choose from. Not even just past those three, but others too. What was your first BP type and why? Was it just convenient/cheap? Or did you have breeding plans for the future and start it off there? (Also, I always love looking at pics, so feel free to show me what you started with :3)

I wuuuvvvvv me some cinni! Get a cinnamon, you wont be disapointed. Theyre by far the coolest morph ever! Anyone who says otherwise is a toad btw...

Oh yeah, very gorgeous. ;-;

lol. I think since mike and I are part of the cinny club then we by law have to push them on others. Get a cinny, they amazing!

I agree with Mike!!!! Cinnamons are AWESOME!! It must be a black back patterned one too!! Like his... Or mine...







The average cinny isn't going to have blue eyes like these two unless there's something else going on or another gene at work, but all in all, I think cinnamons are a great morph!!

Shipping isn't a problem at all as long as its a reputable and known breeder, preferably someone with a good-guy thread in the BOI forum on fauna, or on here.. Someone who can be vouched for as far as their shipping practices are concerned.

Just ask them what kind of box, filler, and heat pack they use. Tell them shipping makes you nervous and you want to be positive...

No harm in asking questions!!

Never settle for less than what you want just because it's all that is available in your town.

Lol. Seems like a cinnamon is should be. XD

Yeah, and the ones she has are...very light? Compared to some of the other's I've seen on faunaclassifieds. And I personally like the darker ones.

Ribbit.......

I was totally paranoid when I bought my first snake that had to be shipped. But that may be the only way you get the exact snake you want. Here was my first "shippee'. Also, my favorite girl.


I can say I got her safely from a breeder in Colorado off kingsnake. And most recently my favorite boy, from our very own Freakie_Frog

He probably came packaged the best, labels saying what was in the box, nice packing to keep him warm, safe, and secure. My bee came packaged nice too. I was a bit worried about my butter from Garrick, as her heat packs were ice cold when I got her, but I have had her for about 7 months now, and she is just fine though.

Don't be afraid to ship. You can check the boi, or come here and ask if you can't find anything. If you are dealing with someone reputable, you should have no problems. Take a look around, and get what you want, don't settle for what you can get.

Beautiful.
And you're right, very right. I shouldn't skimp on myself. Should find something that just makes my jaw drop.
