Reputable Breeders

[faulkan]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some reputable breeders? I have a beautiful young BCI and I am in the market for a ball python. Thank you.

Welcome to the site!

Here are some good breeders:

Justin Kobylka Reptiles: http://jkobylkareptiles.com

BHB: http://www.bhbreptiles.com

NERD: http://www.newenglandreptile.com

Constrictors Unlimited: http://pythonregius.com

Many of the forum members here are also breeders. Look for links to their websites in their signatures

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thank you so much. I guess I didn't realize there were so many choices. I was looking at Royal Constrictor Designs and found a few of theirs that I liked. Have you guys had any experience with them?

I haven't personally, but I know that a lot of people here have. They are a reputable breeder without a doubt.

Another handy tool is the board of inquiry (BOI) at fauna. People leave reviews on their transactions and warn about unscrupulous dealers. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13

I was just about to mention him. I bought my first snake through him and he is a wonderful guy. I ended up waiting weeks for the weather to be warm enough to be safe to ship (it was January). The animals come first and for that I'm glad. I bought a pinstripe male from him and he arrived live and well and has NEVER refused a meal. Garrick makes sure each animal is eating well before shipping them. And with this clown female I purchased that's being a stubborn eater, I can say I've never been more thankful for that.

I just bought a silver streak female from him who should arrive either this week or next week. He has no problem with holding her until I can get a day to be there to pick her up.

Just going to chime in here quick. I have gotten 2 snakes so far from Royal Constrictor and was very pleased. Garric has always been happy to answer questions and chat with me at shows. would have bought from him again this weekend but I ran out of cash before i got back to his booth.

Iv bought 3 snakes from Garrick at royal constrictor designs and they have all been high quality and high health. I definitely recommend him!

Thanks a ton for all the information guys. Short of clicking each and every breeder on the lists you guys provided, does anyone know of any breeders in or around north Texas (DFW area)?
