A friendly Minnesotan hello!!! :)

Hello!

Ever since I was a young boy I have been fascinated by snakes. I would go out in the woods/fields by our house and catch all sorts of garter snakes (which is all we really had by our house.) I started reading up on ball pythons about a month ago and doing my homework. I didn't want to buy one from petsmart or any petshop because they tend to be overpriced. I was fortunate enough to finda good breeder and pick up my first ball python, which is a black pastel, and he is beautiful!

I got him about a week and a half ago and ever since I have been glued to this website! I also spend my free time watching YouTube videos of breeders collections and play around with genetics wizards :) I am hands down addicted... I'm hooked for life! These are such beautiful creatures :D plus everyone on these forums are so nice and have so much knowledge and experience!

Greeting from another Minnesota person. If u are close to st.Paul go to twin city's reptiles. They are one of the best reptile stores I have been to.

Welcome! :D Is breeding in your future, after playing with the Genetic Wizard?

Yes! I've been there it's excellent! I live just north of the cities, there's another really great reptile pet shop near me called oddball pet factory, it's in spring Lake park of highway 65, it has a smaller selection than twin cities reptiles but it's worth a look if you're ever in the area!

I would really like to! Maybe in a couple years! The only reason I would be hesitant would be because there are so many breeders out there and so many ball pythons without homes :( but it would be a truly amazing thing to cut your first hatchling eggs and see the results :)

If you've never been to a meeting of the MN herp society, you might want to check it out. We usually have a large number of ball pythons available for adoption. Some are in rough shape and need a bit of TLC but most of them are actually in pretty good shape. Welcome to the forums.
