Age limit for breeder females?

[Rapture]

Thanks for the responses guys, I was pretty skeptical about that. The woman I am e-mailing about it seems a little on the ... off... side.

Haha... Craigslist and their adoption fees....

Anyway, no. I am not getting anything from her.

I'm actually going to go check out a BP this weekend from someone who has a 5ft normal female and a 55gal tank with all of the accessories. $60 for it all... Of course I'm bringing someone that is good at probing that I trust to ensure that it is a female but if it is what the seller states it as and appears healthy I'll take a chance for $60. Keep it in quarantine and give it a go next year to breed with one of my snakes. And if it does pass at the vet as being healthy and after quarantine it successfully breeds next year then I guess the $60 "adoption fee" wasn't too bad...

You definetly have to be aware of some people that post ads for snakes on craigslist, the flyer or newspaper... Not everybody is the avid/knowledgable herper you want them to be but that doesn't mean that you can't find a great snake that needs a home for a reasonable fee/price.

Keep in mind that a ball python will live into the 30's and can reproduce for a long, long time.

That's what I was thinking the whole time.

It would not shock me if she also feeds them once a month or so .Let us know what turns out and if they are REALLY ball pythons lol.
