Ball pythons: The gateway Herp.

I admit, when I 1st got my ball, I was like, you know what, it's not right to have just 1, it makes us look weird l. Sooo, a month later, BAM here's a spider morph!!! My bday is coming up(the 23rd of sept.) so I said I wanted a new ball 4 my bday, go to my breeders house for some food and a new ball and I come back with a 1.0 mojo and a 0.1 dinker. So less than a year and I'm up to 4, I am also gonna TRY to haggle a bit at the repticon show and TRY to get a female pastel for $100!!!! Wish me luck on making my bees!!!

that looks like a columbian tegu, just to give you a heads up. they are much cheaper and more aggressive than the argentine tegus an i believe most are wild caught

Yeah, thats what I keep hearing about the tegu. I got an email from someone on craigslist IDing him for me too, and theyve actually offered me a Male Pastel to trade for him. I think I might just do it ^^

But the one and ONLY reason I only ggot four in the last year and a half if tank constraints haha. I only had to many to Fill up, but now im going to try and get a rack build before buying any more snakes*killing me inside*

I had 3 Ball pythons in November of 2011 and now I have 39 (including the 16 babies from this season) LOL!!!

well i started off with one little pinstripe in October of 2011. Now I have 7 total. I'm surprise by how much I enjoy them. I actually went half in a pastel breeding size female with my boyfriend. Together we have 22 snakes: 18 bps, 3 hognoses and 1 boa. It's amazing how this all started with one normal bp in 2010 named fluffy :)

My Wife says" They are like potato chips, Be damned if you stop with just one."

And soon the Bag is empty and your Eyeing the Cookies!!!

I think I went the opposite way, started with a burmese, then red tails, and finally bps. By comparison they seem so mellow and cheap to fed. Once I started learning about morphs though, the hooks got in deep!

Because of BPs my interest in reptiles has greatly increased. Since my first BP last August, my collection has expanded to a boa, some leopard geckos, a bearded dragon and multiple other BPs. Definitely the entry into the addiction.

I went from 1 to 4 after bout 2 years :D. After another 2 years, I felt like I had enough knowledge about morphs to start building a nice breeding group :gj:. I plan on breeding 2 females this year to see how it goes. If I don't enjoy it, I'll probably end up selling the females I've been raising. I personally like the way I did it :D.

I've never owned a snake, and my mom ended up giving the animals she bought me when I was younger (9-13)... 22 years old now, just a little more responsible now :P, and I have a feeling it's going to be fun! Since I've been going to expos to see more BP morphs, I see a lot of other wicked cool animals that I want to raise! BPs are definitely gateway herps :gj:!
