Online BP Sellers

I've been browsing online trying to find all of the places that will ship to me. Only being able to find a couple that I find reliable. I'm guessing most of you are like me, and aren't fortunate to live next to a breeder, so have to order most of your snakes.

Who do you use when you order your snakes?

I prefer to buy my BPs at my local repticon or NARBC but i have order some from this breeders
BHB Reptiles
Constrictor Unlimited
JKR
VPI
Brian Gundy

Look on the left hand side of this website and scroll down. There's a couple of medium/smaller breeders that advertise on this website that have a good reputation and amazing animals. Most people who advertise on here also are contributing members on this forum. Your other choice is the for sale threads on this forum as well as Fauna Classifieds forum (which gets a little too hectic for my personal taste).

Personally, I've bought one of my BPs from a large breeder (Constrictors Unlimited) and l had a good experience.

If you find the snake you absolutely love from any breeder, I suggest you find out as much information about the snake before you buy so you feel comfortable with the seller. Good luck on your search!

I bought my BEL from Ben Renick at www.renickreptiles.com

Ben's a very nice guy, he answered all of my questions (it was the first and only time I've purchased an animal online.) His shipment was very prompt and I got an unheard of price for my Sebastian!

Highly recommended! :D

Here's when I first got him, back in August:

Here's a recent (admittedly, a low quality) picture of him from this past week:

I've bought several times from CD Constrictors and just love the snakes I got from him! Corey is a great guy to deal with!

The 'big breeders' are very professional and super-safe (if you're buying a het especially).

Some of the smaller breeders are awesome too - I've found calling folks and asking questions is very rewarding. The breeders who love the critters are happy to spend time telling you about their babies (or older snakes).

When I start to produce, ALL my recessive projects will have at least one visual parent. That way you take the guess work out of the equation.

Garrick, at Royal Constrictor Designs. Been doing it forever, more then willing to help you out. Great snakes period.

There are many great breeders online that are willing to ship. I personally don't find the quality of animal to be better depending on the same size of the breeder's collection. The only advantage larger breeder's have is availability and diversity. I prefer to speak to smaller breeder's who are more like hobbyist than anything else. Whoever you choose to speak to, do your due diligence and check about BOI's on them.
