goin' to a show.. what to get.. hmm.. so many options

pastel ball python
pac man frog
leopard gecko
carpet python
corn snake
Red tail boa
hmm what should i get..... any suggestions welcome for animals around $100ish at the reptile super show...

With 100 you could get the pacman, the leo, and the corn. Does that include tanks?

just looking to get one for right now.. i already have the bins and heating stuff...

I like the pastel balls for 100sh you would be looking at a male.

As much as I like RTB's... I don't think they mix well with ball pythons.. too easy for it to have IBD, and not ever have any signs...
But if a bp gets it... ick poo bad.

I would go with a Corn snake, they are awesome.. I got a corn AND a nice pastel ball for uinder a 100 for the pair...

Carol

ive seen many people keerp them in the same rooms no problems... hmm.. its not like they will be on top of each other

Its not about that, and just because other people have something like that does not make it right. Granted they may be 100% healthy do you really want to risk loosing animals to a horrible disease? If you get a boa get it online from a reputable source and keep it away still from your ball pythons. Keeping away still means washing yourself between handling.

ok thanks!

There is nothing that says Boas and Pythons shouldn't be housed in the same room. If so where did you receive that info. My father for 30 years kept bloods, balls, and RTB's in the same room no problem. I in turn kept boas and bloods in the same room for over 10 years. Since getting into Balls and before getting out of the larger snakes I also kept the balls housed in the same rooms. I mean look at Ralph D. he keeps Freak Boa and his snow project in the same room as his balls with no problem. I know being cautious is a good this and by all means practice good QT, but to share such a broad reach of the truth is not right by any means. Just my 2 cents

If I went and picked up a rtb from a show im just saying I wouldn't want to risk IBD causing havoc. You'Ve got people possibly going from table to table handing stuff, not knowing what they are passing along. Did you here about the member who got a albino rtb from someone in a trade and it wiped out most of their ball python collection because it had ibd? Im not saying that you or your dad have done anything wrong and again just be carefull.

Not only that but some people will NOT buy from you if you breed balls but also have boas coming in and out. This is not what I have just read just anywhere but have been told by people. Like I said if you buy from a reputable source I do not think you would have a problem, but you will not find me ever bringing a rtb into my house with out being overly cautious

ok.. dont argue... im leaning towards the pastel, RTB, or carpet...

Are you prepared to get a 4x2 enclosure for the RTB? I do believe it might need to be bigger if it's a female and carpets need larger ones too don't they? I could be wrong, but both species need at least a 4x2.

Carpets are very fun, I can't wait to get one myself in the far future. I don't know much about them yet, but love their color patterns and behavior from my experience.

Are you good with words??? better yet go the first day and hassle:gj: At the last show I went to the breeder and lady kept going down on the price and she went away with a free ( Yet i do not think the breeder really wanted it anymore because of how many he had and how badly they were selling) corn!!

yes they do and i am aware of that... i plan on getting an 08 baby and putting it in a 32 qt tub until it gets larger...
Im pretty good with hassling.. it really depends on what day i can get up there...

Number 1 its HAGGLING, not hassling.

We cant hassle either:P

awww was loking forward to haggling AND hassling

Matt I wasn't trying to pick any fight just letting you know it can be done and done well. I can tell you that in the last 12 years of breeding snake I've lost only 2 one ghost ball of uri and one hognose in my first year the damn bugger just wouldn't eat and I was no good at assisting. But we can agree that QT is super important when buying any animal anytime especially at a show and buy from a good and well known breeder. If you see me or Pat at the RSS hit us up

pastel ball FTW ! i got my pastel at a show for $100 and hes one of the best reptiles ive ever had

do it ! if not RTB's are sexay :gj:

get the healthiest animal from a reputable dealer who will give you support after the sale.have fun !

I personally would get the carpet python. Though I'm not sure of the price, they're just WICKED.

But if other than that, maybe a leo and a corn or a ball.
