A lot of good advice so far. I agree that it will benefit you to own a ball python, get lots of advice from this community (we're friendly ), and continue to learn about morphs, care, potential health issues, breeding tips, and what to expect! You won't learn everything in 1 conversation !

I would start by doing what Kaorte said. Get yourself 1 baby female ball python to raise to adulthood. You will learn about her feeding habits, experience their growth, and if anything should happen, you can gain exp from keeping her. After a year with her, you could pick up a male (most likely a morph male and female haha), then after another year raising him up, they'll both most likely be breedable! Then you can determine if you still want to breed, and what you want to breed .

Are you coming to SoCal, or NorCal?
