Good places to buy ball pythons.

Looking to get some more bps, I want to know what sites you guys think is good?

I would recommend checking out kingsnake.com and faunaclassifieds.com. Shop for the snake first. When you find exactly what you want, check out the breeder. Do basic internet searches and search forums like this one as well as the BOI (Board of Inquiry) over at faunaclassifieds. There are tons of great breeders, large and small. There are also a few terrible ones. Do your due diligence...

Will due, thanks

Royal Constrictor designs and The Breeding Circle for me.

Royal constrictor designs, I love his bps. I'm gonna order a group or two from him. I never checked out the breeding circle.

Another good place is the Ball Python Classified group on facebook, if you have a facebook.

Someone from Breeder's Circle is there, and it's easy for breeders to offer price negotiations... and Breeder's Circle is excellent! She was totally okay with holding my albino male for 1.5 weeks (after payment), due to my schedule at the moment.

Face book yeah, but also check around here on the forums sales thread! I got my girls through a fellow forum member and I couldn't be happier with them.

Thank you guy, will be checking out everything

There are tons of breeders large and small out there that put out quality animals. I would do research before purchasing. I would also try to avoid flippers, regardless of their customer service. Something about getting a snake from a guy, who got it from a guy, who got it from guy, just bothers me.

Biggest thingis ask lots of questions about what your getting ask for multiple picks i like ones with current date plus pics of parents. The other thing is unfortunately there are a few bad apples put there and they will change names profiles and everything about them so do research and ask around fauna boi is good for finding bad guys

Josh at Cape Fear Constrictors is over in Wilmington and works with some nice genetics. Also if You can try to hit the Raleigh or Fayetteville Repticon or Reptiday shows when they come around, I know several of the regulars who attend and they are all great guys.

I definitely recommend going to a show or working with a local breeder. You can then see the snakes before you buy, talk to the breeder in person and save on shipping. There are several good breeders in NC that can hook you up. I only have a couple things available right now, but can probably point you in the right direction depending on what you want. Message me either on here or facebook and I will be glad to help you out.

This^^^ I picked mine up at a expo up in K-zoo and you get to actually meet and talk to breeders and hold the actual snake you buy. You can tell the good local breeders and most are very helpful and nice. I would just shy away from the types with a tankfull of normals for 20 bucks sitting in a lawn chair.

Plus shows are awesome to attend.

I'll go by a few different tiers here.
Well known breeders: Cape fear constrictors, breeder's circle, JKabylka reptiles, Renick Reptiles

Forum members: Dave Green, Deborah, and as some of his animals come available, Eric Allen (his first clutch looked awesome)
