Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

BHB Reptiles
Looking to get a couple het lucy snakes from them and couldn't find any previous reviews, they have plenty of ads up here and on kingsnake. Website looks legit, called and seemed nice, if anyone can vouch for them give me a shout.

BHB is a big player in the world of ball pythons, Brian is extremely nice and top notch.
There are tons of wonderful medium and small breeders here too as well.
Good luck.

I haven't ordered an animal from them personally, but I just wanted to let you know that his YouTube channel is probably the biggest reptile show on the internet. Just in case you were curious to see their facility and quality of the animals for yourself.

I've been watching for a while. Brian's definitely a super nice, high-energy, helpful guy!
One caveat: They have a few employees to look after their thousands of enclosures, and while they are obviously attentive to the animals' needs, just be aware that any animal you get from them comes from a GIGANTIC store and individualized attention for each animal was minimal.

As other have correctly said BHB is ENORMOUS.
I literally can't think of a more popular breeder right now than BHB. Runs probably the most famous exclusively reptile based Youtube channel.
Side note: He does resell a lot of animals (order them from other breeders and sells them in house) but why not? The guy has a HUGE fanbase and can move inventory faster than anyone out there. I gave up trying to get a carpet python through him years ago because he would sell out overnight.

Ok, I guess I'll say it.
With an operation of that size, there are bound to be health issues and/or parasites. I do not personally believe they have done what needs to be done to properly ensure the health and cleanliness of animals that leave their facility, perhaps because they are seen more as inventory and less as animals.
Furthermore, I do not believe much of his YouTube content is beneficial to the future of this hobby, nor was his stint on the short lived "Venom Hunters".
As someone who has been affected by communicable disease within a collection, I personally would not consider bringing animals in from BHB, despite my protocol of a 3-6 month quarantine period. If I only had 1 or 2 other snakes, I might roll the dice if they had something really special, but that's about it.
My $.02.

I would recommend doing additional research beyond the BOI.
I was a person that went from "definitely buying from BHB" to "never buying from BHB". I do not think he is a good breeder or a good figure head for the industry.

Care, upkeep and attentiveness can be accomplished at both a small or large operation, it really comes down to the people involved. 'Size' alone is a poor indicator of the quality & care provided by said group.
