but this should be an interesting thread to watch, good question:gj:
Re: How do you rank them?
In regards to "big" breeders -I've only dealt with Brian from BHB. I purchased a hatchling Albino from him and the whole experience was great from the quality of the snake to the customer service - he even met with me to drop off my new girl - now that's customer service.:):)
Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to deal with the other "big" breeders - maybe someday.

Re: How do you rank them?
I'm not going to go out there and rank them as it really depends on what they have although I would put NERD #1 just because overall I think they have more mind blowing ball pythons than anyone else. But the big breeders I've bought from are NERD, Mike Wilbanks and VPI and I had good experience with all of them. But I've also had good experience with breeders most of you may not have even heard of. I just buy from whoever has the animal I'm looking for. I am a bit partial to VPI as they are fellow Texans and Tracy Barker is phenomenal to work with. Will be seeing her today at an expo as a matter of fact :D
Re: How do you rank them?
I have bought reptiles from several different breeders. All of them have sent me amazing stuff.
Retics : Baldogo reptiles.
Carpets and Boas : Exceptional Exotics ( Steve Hammond )
Burmese , Carpets, Balls, Leopard Geckos, Corns and Water Dragons : Risher Reptiles
Borneo Pythons : ......as far as these go, the nicest ones that I have EVER seen come from Buddy Nester ( OUTLAW ):gj:, Mr. Tim Mead :gj:, Bob Clark.:gj:
Ornate and Blackthroat Monitors: Rob Faust
P.E. : Argus Monitors
Just my 2 cents worth.
