    Wow that's a great question off the top of my head.

    1. Pro Exotics losing their whole Ball python collection. So depressing can't begin to put myself in their shoes.
    2. Crazy Ball bids mess.
    3. Facebook auctions really taking off.
    4. Caramel Albino pied AMAZING!
    5. All around growth of the Ball python industry.
    Absolutely obsessed with ball pythons!

    Done.

    Personally, I think there's little to consider here. There's one event that stands out as by far having the greatest impact on the "Ball Python World"...as well as the entire herping community. Not to mention the shattering emotional storm that came with it. Everything else is chump change compared to the loss of Pro Exotics. It still makes me want to cry.

    Pro Exotics, not only because of the tragedy of them losing all of their snakes but because of the unique and rare animals lost to the gene pool.

    Pro Exotics for sure.

    The clowns a ball bids should just be forgotten.

    The others may be bigger stories once they are proven one way or the other.
