got the itch

Hello all! I think I am addicted... I can't wait to get my next bp. Before my gf got me a female norm for my bday, I would not think twice about owning a snake. Now, I take trips to every reptile store in a 30 mile radius just to look at different morphs:wuv:.

Anyone else have this issue..

Um.......


My name is Leah....and I have a problem. Please refer to my signature, and add on 3 more ball pythons coming next month....and then add on 1-2 more the next month.....

Yes....it's a common problem. This is such an addictive hobby, and I wouldn't change a thing! Discovering these amazing critters is one of the best things that's ever happened. My son adores them just as much, which makes it that much better :love:

My name is Alexa, and I have a ball python (and tarantula) addiction. They say the first step to solving the problem is admitting you have one, but frankly, I don't want to get better! :D I'm exactly the same way. The reptile store I go to is about an hour and a half (public transport) from me, but hey - anything to get quality stuff for my reptiles!

You really came here to ask if WE had a problem? :P No problem at all!!! -Cough cough.-

See my signature: and I live in a one-bedroom apartment, and I'm about to move into a house three times the size of the apartment with a whole room to dedicate to my collections. I need a therapist on call for the snakes I'm going to collect/produce once I move! :rofl:

I am glad to see I am not alone!!!

I have one... and only one... and i will continue to only have 1 forever because I know that if I give in and get a second... that will become a third, and a fourth, and then a 27th.

So yeah... I have one

give it some time :welcome:

I currenly have just 1 but I can not get rid of the itch I have right now. I so want to get a pair of fires and try my hand at breeding, at this point I know it is just a matter of time.

ok so i just made this joke before but it is a perfect situation to use it....

"come to the dark side.... We have snakes!"

i just have to use it on this post. and I was a recovering addict for a while... now its back down the rabbit hole

The dark side is more fun than the lame light side

I approve of this post.

I have a problem. For sure.

something, something, something... dark side...
something, something, something... hisssss!

Yeah. I got my first ball when I was in HS. It didn't last long. Come to find out a few years later, people i have talked to have had the same issue with the same reptile store where I got her from.
My wife knew i have always wanted one ever since then. She let me get one as a fathers day gift. Although im not going to be a father until October.
Since my other hobby(guns) cost to much. This became my new hobby. I got my second snake yesterday. And i am about to pick up 2 more on Sunday. Then have plans to have another one some time in August. Then I would like to be able to breed at least 1 pair next year.

Awesome! I want either a pastel or a mojave male to breed with my female.

who ever does not have this and has ball pythons then they clearly have something wrong with them!

i think i have a problem...i got my first one at the end of june and now i have 3...i think my daughter has a problem as well..she is 2 years old and is constantly asking to hold them...and once a day i let her and as soon as i say yes...she says ok i gotta get hand sanitizer and runs to the stand under the tank and gets some...and i dont know y but i just try to make it a habbit that when someone holds my snakes they must sanitize first...does anyone else do this?

Oh yes Im completely addicted I have an entire list of morphs i want, other snakes like bloods, SD retics and more! My wife says im crazy for liking snakes so much and paying ridiculous prices for them.

My life in a nut shell - Ball pythons + Kayak Fishing + Weapons + motorcycles= way to many expensive hobbies in her eyes. I simply look at it as a life style :D and love it especially snakes!

Well my Mom always told me if you have an itch, scratch it :rolleyes:

To Justin,

That is to funny about your 2 year old:) I just thought my 2 year old daughter was wierd, lol. Every morning she runs over to Rocky, my big male, tank and says "Hi snake!" and looks into the tanks through out the day talking to them.
