    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How do I find local breeders in AZ?

Is there a list out there of ball python breeders by state?

I've seen giant lists of all the breeders in the country but that's way too much to sift through.

I'd like a list of all the breeders in Arizona because I'm wanting to look locally & see & hold what I'm buying before I buy it.
 
If you scan the classifieds here, you will notice that the location is visible without clicking on the ad. Granted, you'll only find the ones that are currently advertising here...but, I'm sure the list on KS is limited to people that paid to be on it. Either way, you're limited.
 
I am too! Tom Pecanic and Jeff Luman are both in AZ too, as well as a guy whose last name is Green (Dave, maybe?). Willow is in Oro Valley and a gal named Elizabeth is in Sahuarita. There are at least a couple other breeders in Tucson, but I don't recall their names off the top of my head. Seems like most of 'em are in the greater Phoenix area, though.

If KS has a list, I'd check that. The only other way I've found AZ folks is looking at locations both in the classifieds here and on KS.

you also have marki reptiles that are out in az. I have know the guys at az reptile that are in mesa and they are good friends with a few breeders. jeff luman and marki are a cpl of them.They have been really good and honest guys to deal with.
 
I'm actually outta Oro Valley now and more in Tucson teehe...but its basically the same area...Krystal rocks for remembering where I am haha :p

Jeff Luman and Josh Marki are awesome guys...David Green too...You'll usually see them all set up at the local shows (I'll have a table of my own someday haha)
 
oh right on. im in the gilbert area so i only know of tucson lol. I have bought a few things from them in the last cpl months out in the san diego show and the la show. david green in friends with them also right?
 
Friends might be a strong word lol, I'm not sure personally on that as I havent asked lol....but he knows them as far as the reptile world goes
 
lol thats funny. well there websites look almost identical haha. so you a collector or breeder or both? i am real new to this and i love it. I will be going out to the tucson show and the chicago show in oct. Im still trying to find more breeder females and asking everyone i can.

I'm going to be at the Tucson Reptile Show on Saturday, October 6th, from 9-6 & Sunday, October 7th from 10-4.

I'm also going to be at the Phoenix Reptile Expo (in Mesa? lol) on Saturday November 17th from 10-5 & Sunday November 18th from 11-5.

Yes I will be at both expos every day from open to close... Am I a vendor? Nope I'm just obsessed!!! :D
 
Willow good looking out thank you. Good luck j&j its fun trying to hunt down what your really looking for. but at least there is alot of cool people out there that love to help.
 
Hee hee! I'm not sure how I remembered, Willow! I'm usually so terrible at remembering names that locations are nearly impossible! :D

I'll actually be vending at the Tucson show, for once! Didn't think I'd be able to since I don't have anyone to help, but I ended up sharing a table with a friend.

Oh. Uh, yeah, I'm a moron for forgetting my friend! What a dork I am.... Anyway, my friend Jackie is in Tempe, and she breeds ball pythons, too. She doesn't have a website up yet, though. (Her main focus is Pieds and Pied combos.)

I'd love to do the Mesa show, too, but I'll be knee-deep in thesis crap at that time, so it's doubtful I'll even be able to attend, let alone vend. Hope to see some of ya at the Tucson show, at least! :D
