Hello, I'm Bridget and I'm a new member because I am soon to get my first Ball Python.
I live in NOR CA in Pittsburg, and I have no clue if there are breeders near me. I went today with my mom to Petsmart and I am reluctant to buy the $79.99 BP from them. I heard so many different things about the pets sold there and am very concerned. Also very concerned about breeders shipping ANY pet to me.

I want a BP that I know is healthy and I've read several books and online sources.


Any recommendations for those near me OR for those who have had their BP shipped?
