So-Cal Breeders

Hey I am located in San Diego, California and I was wondering if there were any bp breeders in the area. Or if you guys know legit pet stores who breed them or do not sell wild pythons. I heard it is bad to buy from pet stores and it is way better to get them from breeders and what not.

I highly recommend Heather's Herps. She's down in Socal.
She's very nice and knowledgeable. I've gotten a snake from her in the past and was/is very happy with my snake.

Her BP.net name is "Lady Ohh" if you ever want to message her.

Thanks a lot!

Randy Foster is also around the SD area. He's a cool guy and has really good prices. Jon's jungle is up un San Clemente, LAX, and West Coast Junge are in the LA area if you wanted to take a drive up the 5.

I purchased a special ball python from Jordan and Tammy Russell, who own California Breeders Union. He offered to drive down to San Diego for delivery (no charge!), and he is near the Los Angeles area.

I opted to have her shipped (felt kinda bad having him drive, gas prices are retarded). When she arrived she appeared to be 100% healthy. She is a voracious eater as well!

Wow great snakes but too high of a price for my first snake. Im hoping to find a normal ball python or spider ball since those arent that expensive. Thanks a lot though everyone!

All of the recommended breeders probably have normals in stock. They just don't list them on their websites.

Pet kingdom has a lot of ball pythons right now, I believe one o their employees breed them but they always seem to have a mite problem.

South Bay exotics breeds all their ball pythons. They were at the San Diego show a while back. Their normals are kind of pricy at 45 or 50 bucks but I bought my friend a pinstripe from them and I would buy from them again.

Lll reptiles is kind of by mission valley, they have all kinds of balls, import sub adults for $25 and I think baby cbb babies are around $30 or so.

Those are the three reptile shops around San Diego that I know about =P

OH thanks a lot man. That helps a lot. So do you know how much spider ball pythons would be?

Craigslist? http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/for/3262918828.html Not my ad by the way.

They have a sub adult spider at pet kingdom for $99 they say its that cheap because it has "bad spinners" )i guess that means it's black pattern is broken up and isn't connected all the way?)but as I said, might have mites... That's a risk you take buying anywhere but It's a lot bigger of a risk from a pet shop... They have baby spiders too but I don't remember how much they were.

I always try to tell people who are looking to buy their first ball to buy a female. If you decide you can't take care of her anymore, it would be much easier to sell a healthy female adult that a male. Also if you decide you would like to breed some day down the line, you already have the hard part done..... Growing out a female.

Hi,

No, it means it shows an extreme form of the neurological condition tied to the spider gene.

Which means it probably looks like this when it moves.

I thought all spider ball pythons are like that.

Hi,

No all spiders carry the problem but the amount it is expressed varies not only from snake to snake but throughout the snakes life as well.

The one labeled that way doesn't have a wobble, I handled it to see if it was a female. It's a little on the skinny side though. It didn't cork screw when I set it down ether. the people at that shop are a little miss informed about things lol

i just checked lllreptile.com and they have some cheap baby yellow belly ball pythons. Those look pretty nice.
