    Are you looking to buy a Ball Python?

    Are you thinking about buying a new Ball Python? (Especially first time buyers)

    Why not consider buying an older (adult) Ball. One that is a couple years old or at least 500 grams or above.

    The advantages:

    1. You can have a large adult enclosure ready to go right from the start. Get what you need and keep it.
    2. It will be an established eater. ( probably on small frozen rat )
    3. Think of the money you saved by not having to buy all them previous feeders.
    4. There are many year or two old snakes to be found, most breeders probably have some, you can find them everywhere.
    5. If you find a reputable breeder health wise it will be most likely doing good.

    Everybody wants the cute babies. But getting an adult is sure easier and cheaper for many people better because a lot of people that come
    on here sure have a lot of trouble with the babies and Juveniles and getting them the right set up and getting them to eat. Why not
    let the experts, (the breeders) do the hard part and get them into adulthood then you can take over.

    I know some breeders won't like this thread because I'm messing with there income but for you new people looking to buy it is
    something to consider . Some can raise babe's no sweat but some would be better off getting an adult that is a year or two old.
