i have heard nothing but good things about jkobylka reptiles and New England Reptiles (NERD). as far as healthy beautiful bp's go NERD is probably the best place to go. you will pay more but from what i understand their snakes are in perfect health and selectively bread to be beautiful. jkobylka is an awesome dude even if you dont buy off of him watch the videos on his youtube channel very informative and entertaining http://www.youtube.com/user/jkobylka?feature=CAQQwRs%3D His playlist called ProTips is very useful.

as of the last few years i refuse to buy anything from these places petsmart, petco, any chain petstore. i wont even buy items never mind animals i dont want to contribute to them being in business they get so many animals miss treated and killed because of the amount of false information they give out, not to mention they dont take care of their animals they couldnt even if they wanted to because they dont train their employees to care for the animals correctly. all they see is money and thats where they get off selling a normal bp baby for 80 bucks... seriously you can get a perfectly healthy one off any reasonable local dealer for 20-30 bucks who can give you correct advice so that this doesnt happen. Im sorry for your loss, petsmart and petco really are horrible places.

ok thank you. would it still be ok if I buy their feeder mice or pinkie mice? its the closest thing to me to buy live.. And im always up for hearing new things on how to care for my future bp.. I loved my bp but I have looked alot of places and a lot of ppl want like over $200 for a snake I want another one but cant afford that

[jfaria1891]

try looking around on kingsnake.com ball python classified section see if anyones posting from texas and send them a message i think almost all breeders should be sitting on some normal babies this time of year, send them a message and ask even if they didnt mention normals in their post they usually dont because normals usually arent worth shipping but thats why your gonna look for the people posting from texas theres another big ball python classified website too .... cant remember the name, someone wanna help me out here? most breeders wont bother with craigslist, and buying your mice and rats from petsmart is okay but its going to cost you a fortune on those websites you can look at the rodent sections too rodent breeders will charge you a fraction of the price literally.

i buy from a middle man to the rodent breeder and i still get mice at 50 cents each where they are probably like 2 or 3 bucks from petsmart

Just keep browsing most sites have like 25-30$ normals then 30$ shipping.
So about $60
