Any breeders in Chicago area?

I've considered getting myself another ball python, but don't want to go through the hassle of shipping. Any breeders in the Chicago area?

I'm in the Chicagoland! However, I'm not quite at the breeder level... Give me another year and I'll hook ya up! :)

Sweet! I'd like to meet some local herp breeders that do more than just ball pythons as well. If you know of anyone...

I got my pastel boy from AjBalls. I'm pretty sure that he lives in the Chicago area. He was awesome to deal with, I'd totally recommend getting a ball from him.

I'm in Woodridge, and I should be getting a table soon at the Wheaton shows. What are you thinking about getting?

I'm not sure what I want to get yet. I just wanted to start doing some homework and start looking for breeders in the area.

The Chicagoland Reptile House in Orland Park is a pretty good place... They have so many different reptiles and are real helpful (depending on who you talk to... If you go there, Brian is a co-owner and a real solid guy).

Thanks for the recommendation :gj:

Yes, I'm in the Southwest Chicago suburbs. I'm not expecting anything to hatch for at least 3 months or so, have two gravid females in their pre-lay shed.

I HAD a clutch, but something happened and somehow (I have a pretty good idea of how) the Herpstat probe ended up on the outside of the incubator and seemed to have fried the eggs I had. So I have a minor setback already.

AJ, where are you located in the burbs? I'm in Lemont and I'll definitely be in the market this summer for an albino and lesser. Are you planning on having either?

You too Jake... Are you expecting any albinos or lessers this season?

Only het albinos this year, unless I get a surprise from my normal girl. I know Jeff Flanagan from this site is in Bolingbrook and will be hatching some lessers, and possibly albinos.

Albinos, possibly. Got one pair of hets going at it. Lesser's, so far no. My male hasn't bred yet.

I'm located in Oak lawn, what are you interested in? I have some 08 babies and some 07 females available. PM me if you want a list. Some are listed on our website, but I am currently going to be doing my own site soon. I also have some others that are not listed.

White Diamond Reptiles is not too far out--SE of Chicago.

I go to almost every show for supplies, I'll have to keep an eye out for your booth.
