    Re: Lookin into lessers

    All of my snakes come from different places, so I really don't want to recommend one over the other because they were all great to work with.

    3 of my BPs came from pet stores, 1 from a reptile expo and 3 from online sales. Kingsnakes.com is a great place to search for snakes, but I think going to a reptile show/expo is the best. You get to see and handle the animal before you purchase it, I highly recommend this option if there are any near you.

    In terms of large breedres I've bought snakes from Royal Constrictor Designs, BRB Reptiles and RC Reptiles. All were great to work with, Ron from RC Reptiles even sold me a snake that I am sure was a hold back because it wasn't listed on his site.

    There are a lot of great breeders out there, just do your homework before you buy. There are plenty of reviews here and on Fauna Classifieds. Good luck in your search for your new addition!

    I got all my lessers from Tom Furr(Exotics Furr U) in the Chicago area and they are just beautiful snakes and Tom is a really good guy to buy from. I highly recommend him.

    I've gotten most of my balls from different people. I generally like to go with a smaller breeder. Because I'm one of those little fish I know exactly what's it's like to devote all your time and energy into caring for your animals and keeping them A++ and in A++++ conditions. It's hard and bc I do it every day I have much appreciation to others in the same position. Ive also bought from some of the big guys and have had great experiences with them as well. So whom ever you go with make sure the animal is to your liking and standards, well cared for, healthy, and the breeder is of good standing in The BOI. The fauna BOI has saved my wallet a few times. Best of all good luck with the new addition. 
