Best breeders for hets

Hey all i know hets could be somewhat of a gamble but who (in your experience or knowledge) would be some good breeders to invest in some hets (especially double hets) from?

Anyone who can prove they produced them. So someone with a great reputation and all that fun stuff. It depends on what you are looking for so someone can give you better direction on who to talk to.

Thanks for the reply. Im looking for het clowns and lavender albinos and het pieds. I now i could buy the visual morph but this is more rewarding to me.

Any breeder you can trust.

good reputation, information on the parents, pictures of the parents, information on the whole clutch, pictures of the whole clutch.

of course you can fake everything, but that would contradict the part about good reputation.

This right here. If you get a gut feeling then trust it too.

Out of all the hets you listed the hets clowns are going to be the most pricey. I only buy hets from breeders i trust( ben siegel, and bhb to name a few)

Any not so obvious breeders you guys have done business with? And my gut tells me that you guys wouldn't steer me wrong lol. This site population is notorious for actual facts/truths/correctness.

BHB has a great reputation for het guarantees and animal quality, although many of the stories i've heard also include mite infestations on arrival. An easy thing to fix, with proper quarantine procedures and treatment, but a bit of a pain in the butt nonetheless.

Ive never bought from bhb but wouldnt expect mites from them at all

It's just sort of a side effect from having such a large operation. You don't necessarily spot the little buggers immediately when you have 20,000 snakes to take care of. Like the spread of fleas in a dog kennel.

I would contact RDR or JKR personally

Very thankful for the help guys

I agree with this :) Justin always has a lot of awesome Hets and possible double Hets. I'd definitely trust his rep.

I would say buy your hets from the actual breeder. Don't be afraid of smaller breeders that can and are willing to answer all your questions and provide documentation.

I'm looking at a het pied pair myself on Royal Constrictor Desogn. Ots Garrick Demeyer and I've heard and read nothing but good about him. He's been in tje game a long time.

I see you're located in MD. Check out Carson Phelps on Fb. He's located in NJ and is a good guy

I would suggest not buying Hets from a flipper.

I have yet to buy animals from either Jon at Cold Blooded Addiction or from Justin at JKobylka Reptiles, but both have been very quick to respond to any emails I have sent them asking questions about my own animals. I think that speaks a lot for them. If I were looking to buy hets, I would probably look to them first.

I have bought my good share of Hets from many reliable breeders.

Mike Wilbanks- several Het purchases, including pairings that should bring eggs this season :gj:

Dave Green- at least 3 Hets. No papers needed or asked for. Big proven 0.1 Het Pied that ovulated last week ;)

Colin Weaver- at least another 4 Hets. Colin has some great stuff ;)

I have traded my good friend here on the forum Joe (joebad976) for some Hets as well. Great local trades ;)

Papers are not worth their weight in gold if the breeder does not have a good reputation.....

I forgot to add Adam and Lisa from the Herp Vault. I've talked with Adam a couple of times and a good friend has done lots of business with them. My friend was always pleased and spoke well of them.

Truthfully, there are lots of good breeders who are trustworthy and produce legitimate hets. Quite a few of mine came from Michael Cole at Ballroom Pythons South. I have others from people who are not well known that are no longer keeping BPs. I think the most important thing when buying hets (if you are getting hatchlings) is to buy from someone you trust and buy from someone who produced the animals themselves (obviously the last part wouldn't hold true for proven breeders). There are lots of good smaller/less well known breeders producing hets as a part of recessive projects they are working on.

anyone that is trustworthy. Lots of good breeders out there.

I've heard more than mites from bhb but its what I heard not what I've seen first hand. A comment like this can kill a breeders reputation but sometimes these things you will find for yourself to be true. I wouldn't think bhb would have any problems either though. They seem like they have their act together
