Gonna be getting these BEAUTIFUL BALL PYTHONS NEXT WEEK! SO EXCITED!https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui...=emb&zw&atsh=1https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui...=emb&zw&atsh=1http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.47612...h=182&c=7&rs=1

For some reason I can only see the last pic, but he/she is GORGEOUS!!.

Its buddy of mines, He is potentially going to let me have some Offspring of it.

A panda pied???? omg how amazing. I can only see the last pic also.

Is that the picture of the actual snake? Because I've seen that exact photo multiple times

So does your friend have an updated picture of the Panda Pied? :rolleyes: Because this one is about 5 years old now and there are only a handful of people that have been producing them since (and I really mean handful) :confusd:

Plus how does someone who is 17, senior in high school

I am looking for someone who can make the cheapest BEST rack... I don't have alot of money and I need to save alot so I can buy some decent reptiles.... I don't have a job so that makes it tougher.

I just cant afford buying one piece at Home Depot for $30.00 That seems pricey

Afford a Panda pied?

The comments in the quote "so I can buy some decent reptiles" and "I don't have a job". Doesn't have a job, somehow is saving for whatever is meant by 'decent' reptiles, I bent ones he cant properly care for.... The list of animals the OP already has is scary enough for someone without a job. Parents supporting maybe? Hopefully...

Words of wisdom, Deborah. I was too excited by the picture to realize I'd seen it about a million times. Maybe OP has some friends in high places :)

That's some serious savings if you can afford a panda for being a 17 yr old with no job. I know my boss has the 2 very first produced pandas and he's selling the male for 16k.

He is selling some Ball Pythons and I highly interested in going into the field of Reptile ad Exotic Vets. He is donating some small snakes and in a few months if he can produce a few Pandas or a few Black Pastel Het. Pieds. He could make an EXTREMELY good offer. I reckon I would have a job in a few months so I could have some spending money. I could drive to where he lives and help him in cleaning and housekeeping and husbandry. I highly doubt he would GIVE me a Panda Pied for real. But he would be willing to loan me the Black Pastel Het. Pieds he has so far so I can breed them and potentially gain experience in getting Panda Pieds.

Not to be negative Nacy or anything...but this has a lot of "ifs" in it. "IF he produces a few"...IF you get a job (which is a lot harder said than done. Took me over 6 months with 5 yrs experience to land my job paying minimum wage...)...IF he actually lets you come into his house and help with his snake keeping...and IF he would loan you a breeding pair.

Try not to get too excited unless this has all been planned out and you start work tomorrow. A lot of unexpected things can change your plans. Try not to get your hopes up.

This says your getting ball pythons next week. From him? How much did you pay for them? If you don't have a job and can't afford a rack...how can you care for these ball pythons?

I'm all about supporting a person's new hobby (lord knows my family doesn't support me and my reptiles), but it's really best if you can afford to keep your animals before you start adding reptiles to your collection. Just my two cents...
