BP Internet Shopping

So I just got my first BP a little over a month ago and I am already "casually shopping" for my next one. There are no breeders in my area that i know of and i was thinking of buying one off the internet, but that just gives me some worries. Do alot of people buy their BPs off the internet and have them shipped to their house? It seems like shipping a BP would put a tremendous amount of stress on them, and I would hate to spend a ton of money on a nice morph and it be dead when I receive it. Does anyone know of any good breeders that they have bought online and shipped, or any breeders in the Cincinnati area?

BHB reptiles(Snakebytes) they are awesome!

ralph davis from what ive heard

Theres more hobbyist breeders just as good as the big guys. Just shop around and read each breeders Terms when it comes to shipping.

Most if not all guarantee live arrival and some offer 3-5 day health guarantees as well.

In the next month or so breeder sites will be updated with 2010 babies hatching out so keep looking as theres TONS coming.

I would love to have a fairly young high white pied, an albino, or a spider but don't want to spend more than $700. I have looked a lot on the internet and there doesn't seem to be much out there. That's good to know that there will soon be more. Thanks!

Yep give it a month or two the net will be over run with all kinds of neat stuff..

I live in Washington state and I ordered a spider female frm boas and balls and they are based in Colorado! The only thing I would change is to be notified when it got to town so I could go pick it up! I waited for like 4 hours for the truck to make it's rounds! Talk about stress! Had my pastel male shipped the same time from tsk the snake keeper and they are based in utah. Both snakes are fine and doing well... Both tsk and boas ans balls have awsome snakes.

Check kingsnake.com ball python classifieds. That is a great place to go for some casual shopping! It is always fun to see what is out there!

I just bought a 09 low white pied female for $775 shipped from Brendon Kline. I found him on kingsnake.com and I receive her early tomorrow morning. I don't know if you will find a high white for under $700 as even low whites cost a pretty penny most of the time. He has a great guarantee, and is super responsive to e-mails and phone calls. Brendon Kline also has a great positive feedback on faunaclassifieds.com under the board of inquiry section, I did make sure of that, as I have been scammed before. As long as I receive an alive and healthy snake tomorrow morning, he gets 100% positive feedback from me too. I will let you know how my situation with him goes, I'll post back tomorrow morning for you, hopefully, I can post some pictures.

P.S. If you are looking to breed, low whites can produce high whites, and high whites can produce low whites. However, if it is just to suit you visually, just get what you like.

As long as its someone with a good rep here or a known breeder like BHB etc. No problems. Many of mine were shipped. Some were purchased from online adds and then picked up from a show. A couple of my best BPs came from members right here who are just small time hobby breeders. Just do your research and you will be ok. There are many good breeders right here on BPnet. Lots of adds and banners you can check out. You'll find what you are looking for. Just be sure to ask plenty of questions when you find the one you want. Make sure they ship correctly and with a proper shipper like UPS or FedEx.

I may breed one day, but i'm still a beginner at this and don't want to rush into anything. My uncle used to breed and he said he was obsessed with the hobby. He got married though and she forced him to get rid of all of the snakes. Eh! Anyway... Thanks for all of the advice. I will definitely check out all of these leads! I look for pics of your new addition!
