Ralph Davis is a good source to get a ball python from He is one of the biggest and most respected ball python breeders out there. Buying from a breeder is great because they generally enjoy helping you out when you have questions.

If you are getting your first ball python, my suggestions would be to do as much research on their care as possible, set up the enclosure for the proper conditions, then go shopping for the ball python. That way when you get your new snake, you can just bring it home, put it in its enclosure to settle in, and have no worries about your setup.

I know there was a good list of questions to ask when you purchase a ball python somewhere around here.....i just have to find it Where you at Joanna?
