I had one die on me. It was sent to me in horrible condition. I imediately got in contact with the "breeder"(I've got other names for that peice of s___). You could actually see the snakes ribs. I've never seen another ball python in that bad of shape.
The seller told me I could send the snake back for a refund. I told them that I felt that I was the snake's only hope/chance to survive. It lasted a couple of weeks and finally passed.
Reptile Kingdom is the source-----I say beware or avoid this seller on kingsnake.com
I will take your advice. Have you experienced any awesome ball breeders?

Re: Farewell Ball
The poll results thus far is interesting. It is good to know that 75 percent of members here have not had a bp die on them. Another interestiung result is that it is rare for a ball python to die under proper care. I feel bad for those of you who have lost balls. I wish I could have made a poll with more options or with more than one question. I might poll another question.

All of the breeders I've purchased from have been awesome. :gj: A few are from this site, like Justin Kobylka, Jake Wallace and Jeff Flanagan... they each sent me beautiful healthy snakes, who haven't had any problems so far!
Oh, and I voted that none of my snakes have died, thank goodness. But I've only been keeping them for a year, so I'm sure it's something I will have to deal with eventually. :(

P.S. Since you live here in the Bay Area, you might want to check out Robert Seib... he's based in Walnut Creek, and comes highly recommended by other BP folks. :)
Here's his website: http://easternindigo.com/ (he specializes in indigos, but also breeds BPs)
