ball python club nj/philly

I was think of starting a ball python club for new jersey and philadelphia.
If any one is interested or have any ideas on how to go about doing it feel free to post your ideas and suggestion here. think it would be pretty fun and interesting to get together with other ball python lovers and share experiences,tips,go on road trips to shows etc.
I know there are reptile clubs out there but i want one that just focuses on bp's.:D

I'm in!

Let me know, I'm up north!

Definitely in! I'm in South Jersey, just over the Walt Whitman on 295.

Oh, and a good friend I met on here (name was Monty but he doesn't post much if at all anymore) would be in too...

Am I the only one who misread this as a ball python night club in philly?

:rofl: I misread that too and was thinking that would be cool...

- What are you doing tonight?
" I'm going to party at the Club Regius."

- You could name all of the drinks after the different morphs.
" I'd like a double Mojo, please."

- The signs on the bathroom doors could read 1.0 and 0.1...

lol! if thats the case sign me up for a vodka enchi.
but seriousely thanks for the interest,i will b throwing out a few ideas soon,all input is greatly appreciated

I think you guys are on to something!!!

Entry fee would be a rat - live or f/t, your choice.
Mandatory attire - no jeans, no sneakers, must wear bp around neck.

AWESOME!

And Buddha - maybe start a facebook page?

I'm in too lol...unless this guy bans me lol

I'd join. I've considered doing this small-scale, just in my county, town, or even school, but it never went anywhere. Glad to see someone else taking the initiative.

Might help me find a job, too XD

maybe we should have a meet up an toss around ideas

Hmm.. If this takes off maybe we could have south jersey and north jersey chapters. I know with work and other responsibilities I'd probably have a tough time getting down to SNJ. But I love the idea of having BP/herp people to talk to.

all ideas and input to get this going is appreciated

Well...I'm in, uh...Delaware. :confuzd:

Lol Ryan....

Sounds like a great idea....I'm definitely interested.

LOl Ryan you and me both but I down near the beaches till next fall, After that 4thesnakelady and I will be in the upper part of the state lol.

Its unfortunate that The Philadelphia Herp Society has gone to waste because of Mark Miller. As far as I can tell he pretty much owns any rights and privileges that come with it and continues for years to do nothing with it.

I assume nothing can be done to take it away from him. That is the biggest issue with old timer herpers, they want to hold on to feuds and grudges in spite of anyone else.

well ,we will just have to start from scratch,anyone know the steps it takes to start a club,is there and official website or something to find out info of the rules and guide lines for a club.
Seems to be enough interest to get something off the ground

you need to have a place to have meetings. Maybe find a pet store or zoo that would allow it.

You would need a leadership: President, secretary, someone to handle money

You need to get guest speakers. Most times you have to pay them for their time which is why you collect memberships and sell t-shirts, etc.

You should get an accountant or lawyer involved for tax and legal advice.

Plenty of volunteers.

Donations to get it started which means you'll need people that will trust you to send you money.

Its a very big undertaking. Which is why you don't see them popping up like weeds.

You would want to look up online how to start a non-profit organization.

May set up at a few local reptile shows for membership drives. Dont plan on having a meeting every month or else you may get overwhelmed. Try bi-monthly.

Find local breeders that would be willing to put on presentations in exchanging for being able to sell animals to members at meetings.

North Jersey here. I would be in

Before anyone wastes time getting formal, how about setting up a meet at an easily accessable location and see who shows up.

Setting up a network and having informal gatherings is the first step. You don't need an official club to just get together. Maybe a pancake breakfast on the weekend or a diner after work during the week.

so its pretty much like the fish clubs o belong too.
and as far as a meeting or get together i hsve a few ideas i am working on.

just wondering onthe wayne world how mant people know were that picture was taken with out looking it up lol?

What happened to this? Did people lose interest, or is this taking place and I am missing out? LOL. I am located in South Philaelphia, PA and think this is an awesome idea. It doesn't have to be something so big. It can just be 1 or 2 nights out of the week where we would meet and throw ideas around on what we can do, trips we can take and stuff like that. We have to get together first. It can be a like a North Jersey and a South Jersey meet and say South Philly and North Philly meets, etc.... I was just roaming around on here and came across this post and wanted to know if anything got off the ground...

i am still interested ,tried to set up a few meets but they never worked out.
ever want to get together shoot me a pm,maybe we can start from there.

Since it is getting warmer and i want to see if there is still interest in this,i am trying to get info on a meeting place for a few of us to meet up and throw ideas around,i was thinking about the New Jersey state aquarium,will post when i find out more.
If anyone is still interested let me know so i can see how many folks would really like to do this.:)
