Bailey & Bailey Reptiles

We just received a very, very special snake from Tim and Monica Bailey of Bailey & Bailey Reptiles (www.baileyreptiles.com) yesterday. Unfortunately our home computer is down so I can't upload any pictures of her into this thread though I know Tim has some recent ones if he wants to pop one in here *hint* *hint*

This female Spider ball python has a very special story....

What can I say about Tim and Monica? That they are the kind of people that truly have a real passion for ball pythons. That they gave this hatchling a chance when many would not have. That they saved her life and today she is a gorgeous yearling with barely a mark to show the extraordinary lengths they went to give her a shot at a future. A paragraph in this thread cannot touch the depth of respect Mike and I hold for these folks and what they did for this little hatchling of theirs. That they would entrust our family with her future is deeply appreciated by us more than simple words can say.

Grace is a gorgeous Spider, a very fine example of the good breeding that Bailey & Bailey do. She came to us yesterday beautifully and securely shipped and immediately settled into her tub without any real signs of stress. The paperwork that accompanied Grace was some of the most professional I've ever seen.

It's been an absolute pleasure receiving a Bailey & Bailey snake. Mike and I would highly recommend Tim and Monica and look forward to many more years of friendship and business transactions with these folks. :)

Its nice to know Grace ended up with a wonderful family that will care for her. She certainly has a great story that deserves a happy ending :)

Kudos to Tim and Monica for a job well done.

Wow Joanna that's an amazing story on how they were able to save Grace. That was before my time on the forum so I missed the whole thing while it was happening but I just read through the threads on her and she's such a little trooper. I'm so glad to hear that she's gone from one great loving home to another. Definitely keep us updated and I would LOVE to see some pictures of her today! Does she still have the scar on her belly?

She's a b-e-a-utiful spider to boot :D. Congrats and I will definitely be lookin at B&B when I'm in the market again for more BPs :gj:

Thanks so much Rich! We're thrilled to have her. It's killing me to NOT keep taking her out of her tub right now. :rolleyes:

Thanks Adam. Her scar is so minimal it's amazing. A real testiment to Tim's surgery skill and to the amazing recuperative powers of a young, otherwise healthy animal given obviously excellent post-op care. As soon as my computer is back up and running again I'll get some close up pics of that area of her belly. You'll be amazed at how hard it really is to see any scar at all. :)

That certainly is one beautiful girl.

*this is only my own opinion and is not to be taken as a condemnation for those who decide to cull* I am very glad that other breeders feel these animals are worth saving and not culling off simply because they are not "perfect" enough for them.

congrats Jo and Mike you guys will give her a great home

Grace was lucky to have Tim and Monica now she is just as lucky with you Jo congrats.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Jo on her new animal. Secondly, I am happy toknow that she is in such a great home, because I miss her already. To think she may help someone in her new role as an educator is a great feeling, and to know that she is going to have such a special life after what she has gone through, is more than I can ask for the happiness that she has given me over the last year. Lastly, for thsoe who are interested in looking, I have been planning a Grace page for the website for quite sometime now, but my lazy butt hasn't been able to get it accomplished just yet. However, I did take a departing picture of her to add to the web page. Here is the pic we took.

Congrats again Jo, and thanks for providing such a good home for our little girl,

Awesome! As soon as I saw "Bailey&Bailey" and "special snake" my mind instantly went to Grace. Congrats on your new, very special, beautiful girl! And congrats to MBM for taking such good care of her! ^_^

Thank you all for your words and especially to Tim and Monica for entrusting gorgeous Gracie to us. She's doing really well settling in right now and is currently in shed.

I love that picture you took of her Tim right before you shipped her out....it's priceless!

We're hoping to do a snake show at Mikey's school within the month (if not it's scheduled for springtime as we don't like to take the snakes out of the house during the cold winter months) and we can't wait to include Grace in our show. She's such a pretty snake and so calm in nature that I think she'll be a big hit with the teachers and kids and they'll learn a lot from her story too. :)
