I'm also interested.

I just entered the hobby because multi gene Ball Pythons can be had for 40-50 bucks these days. It seems to be reduced to a craigslist/kijiji hobby now for small time breeders. The big box stores even admit they only keep 1 in case of an impulse buy, but they know they can be bought at half of the price elsewhere.

Even talking to a few at the expo, they make their money on the "flavor of the month" which every hobby will always have and then they end up dumping the rest.

I see guys advertising commons / normal BP's for $20 quite often.

On a side note, it seems like you're some kind of big deal. We've never crossed paths before.

If I had a limit of 7-8 feet full grown adult length, that won't bite my kids...does such a snake exist? I've been looking at Hog Isle Boa's recently, but I'm not sure the they're tame enough to be around my 7 and 4 year old boys. They love our 3 foot male ball python.

Any suggestions?

I know Cars, Sports and other fun stuff...but I'm new ish to snakes.
