What got you started/ addicted to Ball Pythons

[Luvyna]

Seeing Pied for the first time is what did it, the only problem they were $10000 so at the time I bought a pair of hets for $1200 and made my own, and the rest is history.

This is what happened to me as well. I don't believe in love at first sight lol but that's exactly what happened when I first found out about BPs (didn't even know they existed before that, the only pet snake I knew about was corn snakes), started watching YouTube videos about ball pythons, and saw a pied in one of Garrick DeMeyer's videos. That started me on the path of researching BPs in earnest, falling in love with the species, and deciding to get one.

The breeder I visited had a banana pied available at the time but I ended up liking an albino mojave the most and I've had him for over an year now. Still possibly looking to get a pied one day but not for a few years at least until I'm sure I can handle two and deal with potential feeding strikes with them both.
