    It's so fun to talk about snakes farting, running and scuttling, prancing, grinning, TALKING. I like it when snakes scuttle. Lol

    I wanted a snake and ball pythons were perfect for me! Easy to care for, chubby bodies, slow movement, and cute faces haha. I decided to expand when I saw how the pastel x spider makes bumblebees. I thought it was fascinating how you could control what color and pattern you want in your snake. I bought the morphs that were my favorite at the time thinking I might want to breed them later. I regret not buying a spider FEMALE haha. My spider boy is too cute though .

    Feeding habits...snakes that eat every week are just too expensive to keep!

    Re: What ATTRACTED YOU TO BPs?

    A picture of a beautiful Bumblebee ball drew me in. A Facebook friend of mine breeds pythons and shes posts various pics of balls. She posted a bumblebee and I fell in love. I started researching snakes and decided that a cornsnake would probably be best for me so I got one. She was a squirmy thing and wouldnt let you hold her. So my FB friend TWISTED MY ARM and made me get a BP (I love you Sandy lol). I originally just wanted one for a pet. I found the one I wanted (in avatar) but she came with a boyfriend so I started researching genetics and breeding. All of mine are babies (2012s) so it will be a few years but I am enjoying them none the less. I went from my original 2 to 6 and Im apt to get more yet.......just gotta get a rack system first

    A bog standard normal! The shape of the head is the prettiest of any snake, chunky body and a great temperament! Morphs are just a HUGE bonus lol!

    For me it was pastels. I owned reptiles prior to getting my first ball, which was 7 years ago. I sold that one, however, at the urging of my mother and mother-in-law. I knew that they snake wouldn't hurt my son however I was tired of hearing them nag so it went. I had lepard geckos and a corn snake after that and I would always look at animals online. I saw my first pastel and super pastel on Greg Graziani's website and I had to have a pastel (wanted to make a super as the super was too expensive). I didn't get my second BP until two years later, and my third came two years after that. That was a year ago and now I'm at 8! Should breed for the first time this year however I have wanted to since I got my male pastel back in January of 2008.
