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.

Hiya all ... my "first" snake is on his way!!!
Who would have thought I'd end up where I am today???
I guess I'll have to start from the waaaaay beginning 
I used to not give snakes the time of the day, not afraid, but also not faszinated by them. Then, I gave my son a reptile birthday party, where a couple of people brought over some cameleons, ball pythons etc. for the kids to touch and hold. I ended up with a couple of ball pythons tightly woven into my hair  That was the beginning ....
I never actually went out and bought a ball, but I played with the idea a lot, and then one day at my work, when I was taking a break in the parking lot, there was a co workers friend, who was giving away a ball python baby including cage, because his mom wouldn't let him keep it. The rest is history, but with a sad ending 
I had my baby for 5 years, and when we moved last spring, he/she got out of her cage and under the house into the heating ducts .......
Well, finally about a week ago I decided to get a ball python again, but boy was I innocent!!! I NEVER realized there were so many different mutations out there and the $$$ these balls fetch!!!! Unbelievable!
So tomorrow, my first baby het piebald will be arriving! I fell in love with those morphs and I'm going to try and breed my own. Granted it will be a couple of years, and I still need to find a female het piebald, but I'm on my way!
Btw my name is Karin, I'm a stay at home mom of three

Thanks for the welcome! Of all the places I have come across so far, this seems to be a pretty active forum.
But I can't seem to find a forum to post 'wanted' ads (yeah, yeah, I'm already on the prowl for more snakes  ) and also, help questions. Help questions regarding ball pythons, not the forum itself.

"wanted" ads would go in the appropriate classifieds section (they're broken down by type)
questions regarding ball pythons would be best placed in the ball python discussion forum
Welcome!!

Welcome Karin,
I have family up there in Oregon. They've been bugging me to come back home for quite a while. LOL Maybe in a few more years we'll end up neighbors.
Than I can check out your Pieds! I like those lil guys. But I like Boas more. That's what I work with.
Hope you enjoy it here at fauna.
Ciao,
Rick

Thanks guys for the nice welcome once again!
crotalusadamanteus .... if I'm lucky enough to own a piebald, when you move up, I'll even let you hold it 
Sorry to be a pain about this, but to post a wanted ad, I would post it in the "ball python for sale" section? I mean the header says 'For Sale/Wanteds' , but the sub-forum only says for sale .....
I'm trying to find an adult ball python breeding pair! I'm itching to see, if I can manage to successfully hatch babies!!! I have always thought, even when I only owned my one ball, that it would be soooo cool to see baby snakes hatch!

hi!
where are you in washington? i live in Northern CA, about an hour away from the oregon border. I am hoping to breed pieds in three or so years from now. nothing final yet, but i have a deposit on a pretty little '05 het pied female from Diego Cubas for my Petros het male. I would love to have friend nearby (ish) lol. anywyas, feel free to pm me if you are interested in keeping in touch. I'm not into the money aspect much, i'm a poor colleges student slowly working into it, but i'd love a fellow collaborator  There don't eem to be too many breeders on this coast anywhere near me. i've found a person in Portland, some guy in SF who seems pretty cool, and i have heard of some seattle people. anyways, good luck! pieds are so beautiful!
