i am aggreeing with vaughn no sane person would sell a proven 2500 gram female unless they are unaware. that snake is highlylikely a male. also about a pastel greg knows how to pop/probe snakes and woulld never sell a female as a male to someone. that snake is a male or you are very lucky

No worries. Our largest female exceeds 3000g and we hope to get some eggs from her this season. She was "donated" because of an awful mite infestation and didnt look to be in very good shape - took some work and diligent husbandry but now she is massive, not a jerky nervous wreck and just a pleasant and impressive snake. People may not always present themselves in the most diplomatic fashion and sometimes even tongue-in-cheek remarks can come across the interweb sounding harsh.

Hope everything works out for you -and make sure you give dual hides - especially in a transparent enclosure like a tank (so they dont have to chose between security and thermoregulation).

well I understand what you saying and i don't mean literal hate... But why such smart ass remarks... and seriously I do wish to hear what adam had to say. If he had so much on his mind why won't he just say it to me PM, Email whatever...


I understand everybody's concern but I was aware of the possibilities when I bought it. You guys didn't buy it or sell it so why is it so important for the smart ass remarks from others?

If you don't want people's .02, then don't post up these types of deals or give all the details you have.

Now, it would be really dumb, in my opinion, to write off the comments of people with many many years experience breeding ball pythons as talking "ish" just because you got a good deal. To look at them as just "haters" it really brings to light your lack of experience with ball pythons. We are not hating on you, we hate when people misrepresent animals and rip people like you off.

as far as the pastel is concerned. Bob hammond bought a bunch of pastels from greg. Sold some and had some left over...he even told me himself it might be a female...But he was pretty sure it was a male...but he said he could be wrong. so who knows. I'm not mad, Pet stores aren't always breeders as well. And the people I bought it from really didn't know the value of ball's or even some other snakes ...They didn't have anything in there near the actual value of the animals in the store...

to be honost though... I see where you are coming from with what you said as far as people trying to sell things as something else...I do honostly.

But it's when anytime a price is mentioned in one of my threads it's the same
5-10 guys that feel the need to post in such smart ass responses almost to be harrassing. They don't like others posting about these deals as it may give others the idea to shop around for similar deals.

The only people that respond in a negative tone are the breeders themselves on here. Such as Adam and a couple others because THEY wouldn't sell an animal at such a price. The guy I bought the snake from needed the money for other breeding projects so to him he just wanted the money to invest in other snakes.

But like I said. I'm not upset and i understand where you guys are coming from believe me. And out of respect to you guys I will not release the price of any snakes that i buy in the future. I will just post pics of them. And as far as a second hide for my large female I was planning on getting one today as well as food for my snakes.

I just feel some hatred...Maybe even jealousy because of some prices that I get. If this thing ends up laying eggs for me next year you guys will hear about it and see pics as well. Ok sure you guys would never sell a female proven breeder for this price but geez I got one. So quit hating...

Your positive people have posted in this thread. They arnt being mean they are poving a point and giving you advise. Cause belive it or not there are bad people in this world.

i know huh!! It could just be me..but all the females I have seen a month after are normaly drained and still alittle small. I also have never heard of a female producing 2 clutches of eggs in a season?! Can they? Im pretty sure they cant....

Look tinkle, I was just trying to help ... you seem to be soooo ate up with breeding and how many girls you can get and how cheap you can get them for that you're not listening to some very solid advice that is being give by lots of people on this message board ... it's more polite for someone to say "that might not be the best deal in the world for someone just getting started" instead of "you're a kid that's wet behind the ears getting taken by one of the many scammers that exist in this business" .... read between the lines slurpie.

Ever see the movie "Colors"? ... There's a great joke in that movie that you resemble ...

An old bull and a young bull were looking over a meadow full of cows. The young bull said "hey, lets run down there a screw a couple of those cows." The older bull looked at the younger bull, smiled, and said "no son, lets walk down there and screw them all."

To be successful breeding ball pythons, you have to think of it as a marathon, not a race ... burn yourself out today on all of these "great deals" and there will be no tomorrow. There are people here that want you to be successful ... that have been where you are, made the mistakes that you're going to make and that want to help ... you do what you want with that.

Cause hey, what do I know right?

Good luck with that 9 egger! :rofl:
