"BPA" The first step is admiting you have a addiction!

I just got my first BP and am realizing how easy it is to become addicted to these magnificent creatures. I am looking at a female Spider 100% Het Albino right now and my husband thinks I have lost my mind lol

So I guess I should say.. Hello, my name is Tabitha and I'm a BP Addict :D

Hello all, my name is Lucien and I see myself treading the fine edges of BPA. I recently acquired my first (a Pastel) and I already know that the only thing keeping me from having more is the troubles I'm having getting this one comfy and set in his home. But I can easily see myself falling deep into the terminal BPA stages once I nail down how to provide perfect homes for any new additions...and there are so many additions I see in my future. Add to that my interest in eventually breeding them and I can easily say that the addiction is in my blood....sitting,waiting, planning for the day I get confident in being a caretaker. Then I know it'll completely take over.

I look forward to joining all of you here so we can enjoy the addiction together.

My name is Reed and I'm a Ball Python addict. Luckily, my girlfriend is also an addict as well. She still lives with her parents and they don't allow her to have a snake in the house, so her addiction is lived vicariously through me. The first snake I got was a Vanilla, 66% het pied, male, named Akeda from a breeder near my parent's house in CT. Less than 1 month after getting the first one, I got an Albino female named Cleo from a breeder closer to me in NH (as a gift for my girlfriend of course). The first breeder I went to recently posted pictures that two of her 100% het pied snakes are mating and my girlfriend gave me the go-ahead to get one of the pied babies that come from that clutch. She's slowly building a list that I'm adding to. Here it is:

1. Pied
2. BEL
3. Banana
4. Butter Ghost
5. Axanthic Caramel
6. Super Cinnamon
7. TSK Axanthic
8. Queen Bee

every day it seems like there are more and more added to this list.

You can see how much Akeda has grown since I got him on Oct. 24th. He went from 110 grams to over 200 grams in about a month and a half. He is almost 23 inches long too.

Hi, my name is Shawn, and I'm a bp addict. In the last 2 years, I went from having a single female that I kind of bought on a lark while on vacation (don't cringe, had plenty of experience just no bps in a long time) to having 36 right now, and that's not counting my first ever clutch of 6 that I'm currently trying to sell. So yeah, I got it baaaad, and not showing any signs of slowing down.

Hi. I'm Michael and I'm an addict. I may be one of the youngest addict. I'm 17. It's hard. A year ago I only had 1 BP now I'm at 8. I'm so ashamed :tears:

Hi I'm Zach (also 17) and I am addicted to ball pythons and all snakes :)
The only problem is that my mom is afraid of snakes and doesn't want a snake room in her house :( But she has gotten better since I have gotten my big female.

Hi, Im Devon, I've been addicted to bps for a year since I got my first one, and now I have 4, plus a couple boas besides!
It wouldn't matter too much but all the bps I want the most are the most expensive... >__>
