    Red face New in the hobby!

    Hello!

    I've been in the tarantula hobby for a while now and just recently got my first ball python, a champagne girl!

    I intend to get into breeding as well, along with my sig. other (who is in the hobby already)! Most likely will invest in a high quality axanthic male for my first breeding project! I live in the LA area and already go to a lot of reptile shows for tarantula purposes, can't wait to get more involved with ball pythons!

    Nice champagne girl and welcome to the hobby. Agreeing with darkranger69, you want to pick up girls to grow early on so that you can grow them nice and big. The boys don't take nearly as long. So while you're growing the girls, shops around for a great male.

    Also, I sent you a PM

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.
