We just received a very, very special snake from Tim and Monica Bailey of Bailey & Bailey Reptiles (
www.baileyreptiles.com) yesterday. Unfortunately our home computer is down so I can't upload any pictures of her into this thread.
This female Spider ball python has a very special story so do forgive me if this isn't quite the typical report of a business transaction. Here's just a bit of Grace's backstory that will help explain the emotion behind all of this.

What can I say about Tim and Monica? That they are the kind of people that truly have a real passion for ball pythons. That they gave this hatchling a chance when many would not have. That they saved her life and today she is a gorgeous yearling with barely a mark to show the extraordinary lengths they went to give her a shot at a future. A simple paragraph here cannot touch the depth of respect Mike and I hold for these folks and what they did for this little hatchling of theirs. That they would entrust our family with her future is deeply appreciated more than simple words can say.
Grace is a gorgeous Spider, a very fine example of the good breeding that Bailey & Bailey do. She came to us yesterday beautifully and securely shipped and immediately settled into her tub without any real signs of stress. The paperwork that accompanied Grace was some of the most professional I've ever seen.
It's been an absolute pleasure receiving a Bailey & Bailey snake. Mike and I would highly recommend Tim and Monica and look forward to many more years of friendship and business transactions with these folks.
