    So I figured since my wife is crazy about her hobby (ball pythons) that I would get into it as well .
    So I guess I will start with a little background.
    we got our first BP from a local pet store about 2 1/2 yrs ago , she was a normal and came with everything a glass tank and all the items needed to care for her . The very next day my wife decided one wasnt enough so she went back to the local reptile store and got another which this time we were told was a pastel. The moment we got the 2nd one home we knew something was off with it . Took it back to the shop and they said it would be fine but over the next two days it got worse , gunk in the mouth , weezing etc. We took it to the vet to try and get it help but with no luck . Took it back to the reptile store they said they would keep it to get it well with again no luck so they gave us a store credit , which we didnt want . My wife did some research and found the shop we went to had a bad reputation so she went to the newspaper and the local news and they did a story which then voided our store credit.
    So to make a long story a little shorter we found a semi local breeder Ben Seigal in pompano beach fl and from the moment we walked into his store we were greeted by his knowlegeable staff who made us feel very comfortable .
    Ever since then we have only bought from them .
    we have bought from them :
    Ghost / male
    pewter / male
    pastel / female
    normal / female
    they have made us feel so comforable and given us so much knowledge over the last 2 yrs or so my wife wants to try her hand at breeding them.
    So I decided if we are gonna breed I want something really cool ( i want me a ivory )

    So we put some money down on our 2 yellow belly pair for our attempt to breed my ivory's


    so thats my introduction and my first post
