A breeder who happens to own a reptile shop. He's very professional, I scoped out the place before I bought anything there checking for healthy animals, clean cages, knowledgable employees. They breed all their own ball pythons there

From their website:

"Twin Cities Reptiles breeds many of our own animals, mammal and reptile. In doing this, we are able to give you an entire history of the animal that you are getting, including feed records. This is very important, especially in the spring when massive amounts of ball pythons are shipped into the country and into the stores with no idea of if that animal is going to eat or make it through the stress of the whole ordeal. Please feel free to ask about any of the animals we have, and we'll be happy to help."
