    DFW, Texas Here!

    Hey everyone!

    I'm very new here (still figuring out all the fun buttons) but I went to my first NARBC this weekend and was jaw dropping! Unfortunately I wasn't able to bring home any darlings but once I get my own place that will change drastically I mainly went to look at breeders and morphs and get a better understanding of what I really want and maybe which breeder to purchase from.

    I'm curious on if there are any local DFW breeders or hobbyist breeders on here? I'd love to chat with a few locals about their snakes and how they manage a small scale breeding project (which I want to eventually get into in a few years). I'd also really like to purchase from a local breeder if possible when I have the room.

    Anyways I'm still learning all I can for now! This forum looks fantastic and I'm glad to be here

    I'm here in Denton, I'm just getting started myself. I've only got 6 ball pythons right now, but I'm planning on producing my first clutch or two next season. I picked up a breeder girl at the NARBC for my bumblebee this weekend. There were some serious show stoppers. I only brought 150 cash so I'd only get what I "needed" lol. I'd be happy to talk about snakes all day long just pm me. I know my girl is sick of hearing about it!

    I'm from DFW as well, though I'm usually in Georgia away at college, but I go home every chance I get, nothing is quite like Texas, that's for sure! Welcome!

    I've dabbled in the idea of breeding, and I know what I'd like to make if I did breed, but honestly the more I think about it, the more I realize I really am just a pet owner, and I can't picture myself being able to trade out my snakes for different/better morphs.. and so my collection would end up far too big!

    For now I have three snakes, a ball python, a common boa, and a rainbow boa, all girls. If I were to breed anything it would be rainbow boas or special morphs of pied ball pythons! my favorites of course!

    I'm also looking for more locals to chat about my reptiles with! It's fun!

    I went to the NARBC and came home with my rainbow girl as well as a few other husbandry items! It was my first time going to a big show!

    Welcome aboard!

    I grew up in D/FW and still have a lot of family there, so we go back at least once a year and sometimes twice. I wasn't able to get back for the NARBC show this year, but will try to again sometime! Great show!!
