    I have someone who you can trust and i am 100% sure that he will not rip you off i guarentee.I personaly know Rusty and his partner Rick cunningham(i hope i spelled Ricks last name correct).Rustys email is balls4u@hotmail.com, and his site is www.rustys-balls.com . I just got off the phone with rusty so when you contact him mention that you recieved his info from me ok.He and Rick are two of the good guys.When you look at his site look in the incubator section he said as this shows all of thier clutches and Rick updates i think weekly.If you have any problems getting in touch with either of them let me know thru a pm.

    I think they are part of Prehistoric Pets or a sister company of it, they mainly buy wholesale and resell reptiles.

    I would buy direct from a breeder, just my $0.02.

    Well after reading everything on the BOI about him he has a pretty good rep. From reading the posts he is often confused of the horrible Prehistoric Pets in Fountain Valley, CA. His store Prehistoric pets and reptile guru is in Chino, CA. Thanks

    Why wouldn't you just buy from someone that has built their reputation specializing in ball pythons ... breeders that actually produce the animals, like NERD, RDR, TSK, PKR, MKR, VPI, etc ... instead of another TSE type operation that just buys and resells?

    I wouldn't go as far as comparing them to TSE, but I agree with Adam 100%.

    As I wrote above, you should buy from a breeder that specializes in what your looking for, especially Hets. You don't want to raise that snake for 2-4yrs only to find out...you way over paid for that normal BP.

    Re: Reptile Guru, Jim Alles?
    Ive emailed most of those and just gave RDR and e-mail. I think you are right about the buying and reselling, Jim told me the breeder he got it from in January on a trade. (I can't remember the breeders name its on my e-mail, but I'm at school and can't do e-mail.) Have any of you dealt w/ Professional Breeders from San Diego run by Steve Osborne? I guess the name implies they breed their own. And from their pictures axamples their albinos are EXTREME. If you guys have had good dealing with them ill but one of their pairs for $750.
