I started into BPs most recently.... my students and I were watching a video on snakes, and I was just as fascinated by the snakes as the kids were... so I started doing my research on ball pythons... and purchased one from a verified breeder with good references. That BP now lives in my classroom and we monitor him every day and over breaks too. That was the first week of March 2016.
Then a month later, I picked up a second snake, a larger BP female, and I'm not sure why. I'm really not. But I had her shipped in and she is doing well.
I now have two other snakes from the same clutch on a payment plan and will have them home soon.
After that. I will have no more room for any more snakes.
This is good because I would buy more![]()
My husband wanted vipers but I told him no. I love the man, but he can't remember where he left his keys. I cannot risk a gamble as to if he locked down the snake habitat or not.
Going on easter egg hunts for a viper in my house is not how I want to spent the wee hours of my mornings.
This said, I adore the ball pythons because the ones I have are very gentle, very sweet and just very relaxing to be around.
