POLL!!! Who is your favorite breeder!?!

If I didnt list the breeder you like please post his/her name! All of these breeders are great and really produce awsome ball pythons!

-Payson!

I voted for Garrick b/c I bought most of my collection from him. I would also say Jeff Hartwig though b/c he's a great guy and an Olympic athlete!

Mike Wilbanks is Constrictors Unlimited, and Adam Wysocki is 8ballpythons... at least, unless I'm having a major brain lapse or something.

I really like Top line constrictors and Art in scales

I LOVE Josh Marki....Marki Reptiles....not on here so I did not vote!!

:O NERD didn't make the list... for shame...

I cant vote anyway because my favorites are both boa breeders..

You forgot Foschi Exotic Serpents..... :rolleye2:

I actually cant choose a favorite. I have great looking snakes from a couple of those listed.

Vin Russo is a another great one.
Frantz Herpetological too

You are correct. I feex:P
There are some great choices up there, but there are so many quality breeders out there that it would be impossible to cover them in a poll like this.
My favorite breeder is no longer breeding, but he's my first go to person for anything bp related and is a great friend.
NERD has many fans and they aren't on the list. I'd say that the first folks I would go to for a snake these days would be the breeders on staff here at Bp.Net.
Heather Wong, Tim Johnson, Deb Stewart, Robin Abernethy Ed Deupree, Emily and Bruce Whitehead if I also decide that I need a great beer while picking it up:D
If I found myself in Scotland and had a way to get it back I would throw some business Derek's way as well.

what he said :gj:

FYI 8Ball Pythons is no longer breeding they are getting out of the business.. :( very sad day..

Garrick is wonderful to work with! I have bought from him before and he was very helpful in answering all of my questions and was very sincere while doing so.

Ralph Davis makes awesome videos on Youtube and so does Justin Kobylka.

All of these breeders are great in my opinion!!!

Awww man why is that?

My favorite is Tim and Monica at Bailey & Bailey Reptiles.

But from those choices, BHB and Justin are both winners.

Heather Wong of Heather's Herps. I've also bought from Chun Ku at Dynasty Reptiles, Brian Sharp, and Jeff Luman, and I'm happy to give them all thumbs up.

...I'm surprised I didn't see NERD or VPI?

both Adam and his wife are devoting their time to the National Pet org that Adam founded. I hate to see those guys leave the breeding side of things but I'll say that Adam is a do-er so if he's in Washington helping fight these laws that are coming up, we've got another good group to support USARK and PIJAC being the other two.

The best looking snake in my collection came from Sean at Exotics by Nature, but I do plan on getting at least one from Justin Kobylka this up coming season.

Cant believe Adam is not going to be breeding anymore!

Anyways there was no ALL of them option so I did not vote.

They don't have a huge online presence but Mark and Kim Bell are who I call first. I grew up in Naples and have been to there place several times. First class operation.

I still have no idea what you're talking about:rofl:

Ive purchased from Mike Wilbanks and received excellent customer service and an awesome fire, but I had to drop my vote for BHB, because Brian has taken alot of time to answer many, many emails Ive sent him with newbish questions and assures me every time that its no trouble at all.

I totally agree with you, very sad day indeed. But like you stated in your other post he will be helping us in other ways.

On a side note I recently picked up a beautiful pair of Enchis from Adam. Let me tell you, right from day one they did not refuse a meal. Not even my fingers, nippy little buggers.

I have not purchased from any of the breeders listed so I am not going to vote. Most of them have some great stuff.

I picked Brian Gundy. He may not be as popular as some of the other breeders, but he has helped me along the way and been a good friend at the same time.

lol we have a big staff and I knew I would leave someone out!! You guys would absolutely make the cut:)

I sound like a broken record and I freely admit to being partial but, I'm going to have to once again say Kelly & Art (KellysBalls). I've gotten all four of my kids from them and working on a fifth. They've given me fantastic deals on some of the prettiest animals of their respective morphs and have been incredibly helpful/patient and understanding. I don't think I'd go to anyone else unless I came upon a once in a lifetime deal on something out of the blue.

Gotta vote for justin he rules. I will be buying from him again this year.


There are alot of good people out there though.

I honestly can't believe this is 4 pages long and VPI has yet to be brought up. They only wrote the most impressive book on ball pythons! Tracy is great to deal with and being a fellow Texan, they definitely get my vote. I'm also going to throw in Alan Bosch. I ordered some stuff from him right before Hurricane Ike hit and Fedex couldn't guarantee deliveries down here for a while and he was very accomodating and the pied I got from him was exactly what I was looking for. The only other breeder I've dealt with on this list was Mike Wilbanks and that was also a good experience.

I haven't purchased from any "major" breeders yet. But I have sent a couple emails to Justin asking about prices and a few questions about morphs and he was very friendly and had no problem taking the time to get back to me quickly. He's a good dude.

Brian at BHB is awesome! His facilty it top notch and the animals are well cared for!

My vote goes to TSK!!!! Dan and Colette Sutherland are great people, very proffesional... Very nice. The 09 jungle pastel I got from them is one of my fav snakes. I noticed no one put Lynn Kubic from boas and balls... That's to bad.... Seeing as how she is a member of the forum.... I got my spider girl from Lynn and she is awsome..... Plus Lynn ALWAYS responds to my emails even though she is a busy woman...
:snake:

You had to know someone would be bragging about their big staff in a "who is your favorite breeder" thread.

BOAS AND BALLS - LYNN KUBIC :gj: :gj: :gj:
JOE COMPEL REPTILES :gj: :gj: :gj:

I've got a top four, and would hard pressed to choose a favorite among them.

Albey Scholl of Albey's Too Cool Reptiles
Justin Kobylka
BT of Rebel Reptiles
and Ryan from Clockwork

All are excellent choices. I also want to mention Steve and Cindy Jones of MorphMakers. I purchased my 100% het Piebald BP from them and they were great. They were quick to answer any questions and kept in constant contact with me when the weather took a turn and delayed shipping a bit.

THE MAN, THE LEGEND, THE ONE, THE ONLY, BRIAN BARCZYK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have bough many snakes from him. He has given the BP community so many treasures cough*PINSTRIPE*cough.

He is having me conduct this year's trip and tour of his facility, so if ya wanna come to detroit to go inside his breeding facility, message me.

I haven't bought any animals from the list above. One name that should be up there is Colin Weaver - East Coast Reptile Breeder:salute:

Check out his Blog:gj:

I didn't vote, because as much as I love the hobby and can't say I have a favorite breeder. I prefer to stick to local breeders over the big time breeders.

Me :D
