    Best online retailer for healthy BP?
    So the title says it all I'm looking to start my journey with a new addition to my family. The sad part is there aren't any specialized breeders in my local area (Hill AFB, UT), and i don't trust pet stores. So the question for all of you is what's your favorite online retailer, and which ones should I avoid. To add flavor to your answer please tell me why you think the way you do. From slow delivery to false advertising I want to hear all the dirty details of deals gone right and deals gone wrong.

    If this is already some big thread somewhere and I happened to miss it (and its decently current) please link it in a reply.

    A little backstory, I bred corn snakes as a kid and loved it, when I went to college I had to sell my collection which was heartbreaking. I'm finally in a position where I can settle down and start up my hobby again and would like to start with a basic but beautiful BP. I'm not looking to spend over about 300$ per snake just yet but any information big or small will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again

    I've had fantastic experiences with Dan and Claudia from Myballpython.com. I've bought from them many times and had no issues! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...1d3bdb998f.jpg a mojave ghost I bought from them last week.

    Just checked out their website, they seem to care a lot about service (displaying the state of their breeders) and that's one beautiful snake you have there so I'll make sure to keep them on my list.
    Thanks!

    http://bradboareptiles.com/ Talk to Brad. Super nice guy. I talk to him at the local show regularly and he has always been quite helpful. Everything he has is spotless. None of the other breeders have a bad thing to say about him. And he has some incredible looking animals.

    I have had nothing but good experiences with NERD,BHB, and hammer balls ...hammer is a smaller breeder that I used to be locally to and he has some good stuff....all have great snakes and great customer service...royal constrictor is another great breeder I personally have none of his animals but have chatted with Garrick a few times at different shows and i know few people that have a bunch of his stuff. There are also some great small breeders on here as well.
