This guy has done amazing work with fish, (which I am more comfortable judging quality), and have yet to really have a bad experience with him there. I was shopping around for my first ball python, after doing research for a couple of weeks. (i've kept snakes in the past, just not balls). So being a good customer of his with one animal, and hearing good things about his snakes I thought i'd give him a try. I haven't bought the animal yet, I was just curious about some of the quality. It's a real let down that he's not as good with his snakes as he is with his fish.

On that note: I did see the animal in person, and even if his genetics seem low quality from what I can tell he seems healthy ( inquisitive, decent grip, normal tongue movements, no weird breathing). My only concern is that he looks a little bit on the skinny side, but I might just be inexperienced in telling.

There are many places online to get high quality ball pythons, you don't have to settle for second best.

Of course, if you want it just for a pet and not to breed, that doesn't make any difference.

By the way, if this guy can't even tell what he's breeding and selling, I wouldn't want anything of his. Just saying.
