Hello BP.net and my fellow herp enthusiasts,
I've been lingering around the forums the last week or so with no introduction. So hi, my name is Noel. Uhm... I come from NH, home of NERD! (It's like 40 minutes away!). Basically how I got into BP's was simple. I was in borders books and saw a book on Ball python and genetic morphs and couldn't believe all the science and hoping and waiting and guessing and crossing all your crossables that was involved and it instantly became something that thrilled me. That was about 3 years ago. Since then I did a bunch of volunteer hours at what was RJ's Exotics in my home town and got to learn as much as I could handle about all things reptile. But then the location closed. So I was left to dabble for a few years up until now.
So last week cruising on craigslist I see a Yellow Belly ball python reading to be rehomed and the adoption fee happened to fit my price range. The second I got him home and set up i've had the BP fever. Two days later I got my little precious Charlotte. Who has been nothing but the most adorable little ball of cuteness i've ever seen. I must say I got involved in this for the thrill and chase of producing awesome one of a kind snakes. But I have fallen in love with these little guys.
So fast forward again until yesterday. When I got to introduce my two loversbutts to there new friends.
and...
(kind of stink at the whole web thing hope you see the pics of the spider and pastel. So thats 4 snakes in 6 days. In total on the four snake them selfs I've spent $1,100. And well worth it in my opinion. I remember when I was getting into this a few years back a high end spider would run you 4k$!! But this hobby is now my money pit.
I've recently contacted 8ball about a breeding pair of 100%het Albinos from 06. And I am in the middle of negotiation on a pair of 100% Het pied breeders... This season hopefully produce some albinos and maybe a pied. Next season who knows. So far this wave im riding is fast and high, but i'm going to ride it all the way out. Nice to meet everyone here and ill have more pictures of my kids up asap.
