Hello!
I'm new to keeping ball pythons, and this is a really exciting experience for me! I've taken courses in herpetology, but getting first hand practical experience is something new and exciting... and something I would feel most comfortable learning through hands on experience under the guidance of experienced keepers and breeders.
I want to learn as much as I can, and I am definitely interested in finding an experienced breeder or hobbyist locally that would be open to having a volunteer shadow them.
I am super glad to have found this site. The diversity of information on here is SO incredibly helpful.

Does anyone here have any knowledge or recommendations for breeders or keepers in the North Texas or DFW area? Any recommendations for literature regarding husbandry, breeding, genetics, etc.?

Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to learning a whole bunch from all of you!
