Plus it's easier to learn this stuff and get husbandry down while you only have one snake. If husbandry is off on a bunch of animals and they all come down with respiratory infections your vet bill might put you in the poor house.
i have a corn snake but cleaning up the poop and stuff isnt a problem for me. i had an iguana once and they have like giant poops lol! and theyre pretty hard to care for so i think ill be able to handle it. i really like just taking care of them i think its fun but i for sure will not start out with 15

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?
yes that was my plan. and south. riverside
