Introduction and pics DUW

Well my wife and I are just now becoming more involved in some of the forums and think its time we get involved in a ball python forum. I have been keeping and breeding reptiles for about 15 years now. I started many years ago with Chameleons (not the best entry level reptile...but I LOVED them), Peruvian RTB, and Leopard Geckos. I bred these and added in a few species until I joined the Marines in late 04. Before my first deployment my wife and family refused to care for ALL my animals (except a small colony of Leopard Geckos my wife was working with)...so sadly I had to sell off everything I had. Three deployments and 2 years of being out, now I can finally rebuild my collections and get back into the scene.

We are just getting our stocks back up but are very pleased with the collection so far. Thank you for looking.

We have a few more and a couple more on the way. My wife is a professional photographer...but as you can see I am not the best with her camera lol. Thanks again for looking

:O :O :O

Beautiful snakes! :love:

Welcome! Feel free to share pics any time ;)

Sucks you lost your collection :( Good luck getting back in the game!

(I would so rather care for a ton of BPs than a colony of leopard geckos. They are cute and all, but snakes are so much easier! IMO!)

Snakes certainly are 10x easier...but my wife is the gecko freak so I don't see them leaving anytime soon.

Welcome to the forum. You don't play around starting out with a new collection. Beautiful collection.

#1. Thank you for your service.
#2. Very good looking Balls.
#3. Please send the first one to me to in Texas.

Congrats on being able to do what you love again. I had to do the same thing when I joined the Air Force, it was a hard but necassary choice to make. You have a great collection. That enchi is perfect!

Thanks for sharing and welcome to the forums. And Semper Fi from one Marine to another. :gj:

Good to see more military members on here. Thank for the welcoming and for all the comments. We are very happy with our collection so far.

@MidSouthMorphs - What was your MOS if you don't mind me asking. I started as a 0311 then became a 0317 after my first deployment.

thats one of the finest champanges i have ever seen.
