BP Breeders in Northwest Florida

Wow didn't know there were that many around here, I will definitely check them out. Thanks a lot!

I also didn't know there were that many around here... I was about to start considering getting a ball from an out of state breeder. But I ended up getting a male het pied from Petland in FWB. He's been great :D

Eaten twice for me so far, shed once, and is real sweet. Had some worry of scale rot, but the worrisome scales are gone now, went away with his shed. Other than that, he seems in great health, but I'll definatly look into local breeders instead now if my parents decide my brother can get a ball too.. :D

Nice, good to know he's doing okay, but from my experience never, ever buy from a pet store. I had bought two garter snakes there and when i took a closer look at them in their new home, I noticed they had mites and other problems. Luckily they are doing good now.

I definatly know the horrors of a pet bought from a pet store, my older brother had issues with his baby ball when he got him (couple years back from a completely different pet store, BTW)

First off, he was told that he'd eat F/T no problem... He didn't. He'd only take live. And if I remember correctly, he had other issues too, that my brother didn't think twice about, until my cousin pointed a couple things out. (she had a couple BP's at the time too)

My brother got almost all his information from that pet store. Once he told myu cousin, she set him straight... Unfortunately it was too late for the little guy :( and he passed away after 4mths of having him... Now that pet store is closed down, has been for about a yr and a half now.

But, after seeing my ball a few times at this Petland, being able to hold him too, I was quite confidant that he was healthy. My bf also has had a healthy Beardie from them, other than him being small for his age (don't know cause at this point) for about 6mos now. And often, when he goes to pick up food for his Beardie, they ask how he's doing and if he's grown more. On top of that, the employees there do have knowledge on the pets they sell (ours no longer sells puppies, and the kittens come from a local shelter, I believe), and if a particular employee dosen't, they find one that does.

Phew... That was longer than I ment it to be...

Awesome, maybe that pet store actually cares for their animals, but I'm not too confident about that. He might be small because maybe they weren't feeding him proper size feeder mice.

:confused: Feeding a bearded dragon feeder mice? Or did you think it was my Ball python I was refering to? Loki (my ball) is about 2 years old, and at this point gets 2 adult feeder mice each meal. Next meal its increasing to 2 adult mice, and one small adult mouse. Hopefully I can get him on rats, but I'm not gonna try for a few more feedings.

If Tim Bailey from Bailey & Bailey Reptiles coming to Pensacola Repticon I will for sure Buy from him is a solid guy and have great stuff.. I wish He made another contest this year :cool::rolleyes::cool:

Sorry Loki, I misread your post, and I did think you meant your BP.
