    Best place to buy BP?

    Hi, animal enthusiast Patches here in need of advice. Looking to buy my first snake soon (have lots of experience with other reptiles), now that my wife has given in to my pleading. Wanna get a ball python (banana my fav) most likely though haven't ruled out other species. I've been doing a lot of research but figured this was the best place to get a definitive answer. My question is simply "what is the best place to buy a BP?" I have had bad experiences with pet shops and other reptiles and have had bad experiences with online sellers and breeders as well. I have watched awful youtube reviews for sites like backwater and was wondering where I can get a healthy captive bred snake safely. Please share experiences good and bad and let me know where the best place to go might be.

    There are plenty of good breeders, really depends on where you are and if you're wanting or willing to have the snake shipped.

    The Board of Inquiry on faunaclassifieds is a great resource for reviews on individual sites and breeders.

    Great breeders on this site. I think Deborah has banana stuff. I think. And Eric Alan is also one of the best breeders on this site as well. Both of their customer service is top notch, I've bought from both.
