ive had snakes for about 8 years now.  a friend of mine got me into them and he is a breeder of both snakes and tortoises and got me into the hobby.  it gets addicting.  Any other snakes I get will be locally caught.  CA kings, mountain kings, and rosy boas. My new neighbor actually keeps hot snakes (poisonous), so i may get into chatting with him and considering keepign a few rattlesnakes as well, but i gotta work up the courage.  as beautiful as they are, thats a risk im still weighing.  balls can be pretty cool.  I breed and sell mice to a few breeders in my area, there are some very interesting morphs out there.  mojave spiders (ball python morph) are pretty attractive.


Very cool man you definitely know you shit! I might start off getting a ball python, I had a water snake that I caught in Utah when I was younger he was really awesome... had him for a long time. Not sure how to go about getting one though, I don't think I want to go to a "pet store" but I'm not sure if it's safe buying them online? I was told a reptile convention is like the best way to go about getting exotic animals.

I have just a normal ball python. Such a great temperament.

That's a beautiful snake! Thank you for sharing. How old is it and where did you get it?

That's an older picture, but he's two years old. My friend bought him at a reptile expo, but wasn't able to keep him so I ended up with him.

Wow awesome snakes! The colors on the tree python are quite amazing! How large did that jungle carpet python get and what made you want to get that breed of snake?

Geckos are more fun than snakes? Cool. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of your favorite geckos if you wanted to post those also!

Thanks for the replies everyone, this is like all I come on JSP for at the moment haha. <3

She was around 6-6.5 feet in that picture, I got her because they are a lot prettier but it was a big mistake these snakes can be nasty and she was no different thats why I sold her
Ill get some pics of my geckos on here later.
And to the other guy who asked if I was ever bitten

I have owned scorpion, goliath bird eaters, all kinds of snakes and lizards and I have been bit by all of them.
From my personal experience being pinched by scorpions, tokay bites and bearded dragon bites are probably the worst I have ever gotten, had to go to the hospital once cause my male 3 foot beardie bit half way through my thumb, they have a crazy bite.
