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.

Unopened Bags = not opened yet by YOU.
They were however sorted through by:
African Collecting Crew
African Sorting Crew
African Selling Team
Exporter
Importer
Importers Employees
And that's if they weren't captive bred in Africa or the states cause I have heard of that as well...

Michael they are adorable, and I smiled when I heard the person who was with you address them with baby talk. I would have done the same
Whether it was any kind of good investment I don't know, but there is no doubt the grand opening of the bag was a happy experience.

Thanks guys, Ness we both knew they were going to be picked thru, however alot of thought went into deciding to get them. We did it mostly for the experience, we aren't looking for the next big morph or anything like that. Lucille, that's my wife doing the commentary she is absolutely in love with every one of them.

I know people think it's fun to get these bags, but here are some things to consider:
1. You are more likely to get healthy normals that are captive bred here in the United States.
2. These captive bred healthy normals produced here are actually more likely to have hidden genes (e.g. pied, ghost, clown, etc.) than anything that's imported due to big breeders mixing in low-value possible heterozygous animals or low quality codominant genes (e.g. fire, yellowbelly) into lots.
3. We already have a vast overproduction of normal ball pythons in the United States. Why import more?
4. Importation places a huge strain on hatchlings and many do not survive. I question the ethics of this practice.
I'm sure those are just a few of the thoughts that have many of us here having lackluster responses to your enthusiasm. This isn't meant to be a slight to you, so please don't take it that way. However, the marketing of these so-called "unopened" baby bags is predatory on new keepers and probably results in a few leaving the hobby before they've ever really begun due to bad experiences getting these imported babies to thrive.

People will say what they will about
outback baby bags, but take a look
at my avatar and tell me I that i did
not get lucky...I assume these bags
are already pre-sorted, and I do not
mind - but I told him I really hope I
get banded and granite, and I got like
5 or so banded animals ahahah, just
seemed like too good of a coincidence.
Out of the banded balls I acquired, this
obviously was my holdback. Some had
phantom and blitz like characteristics..

I consider "unopened bags" as one of the many reptile related scams.
