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.

New here.... a few questions
Hi everyone. I am relatively new to the BP world. I havent yet gotten my first ball python but have been doing a lot of researching. I have decided that I want a female normal BP for my first one. I have the cage for it but I am still aquiring necessary parts (UTH, thermostat, hides, bedding, reliable local place to buy food until i get to f/t,etc.) I was going to purchase my snake from Ray's Reptilia until I stumbled on this site tonight and, fortunately, read the bad things about his practices on the board of inquiry. So I was wondering, where would the best place be to by my normal bp female baby for under $100 shipped? Thanks for the help guys. I will be sure to post pics of it when I get it.

Oh yeah... another question (I couldnt find the edit button sorry). Does anyone know of any reputable breeders in Michigan either in the Grand Rapids or surronding area or in Flint or surrounding area? I would much rather drive an hour or two to pick out my snake personally rather than having it shipped here

Jeremy, Alex Hue is in the GR area, BHB, John Apple, Nature's Spirit and others are still in michigan but further away.
BHB is in the 586, and I think John Apple is in the Ypsi Arbor area with me. Good luck finding your ball python

Hi Jeremy,
I have read alot of good things about Joe Dembinski. It also seems he has alot of animals for sale right now. I know I found one with 14 female bp's for sale. If you look in the classifieds I know you will find him as Dembinski Reptiles. You can also read the good guys ads for others.

First, Welcome To Fauna.
Thank you for not supporting those who ship snakes through the post office.
The alternative suggestions already made are all solid people to do business with.

Jeremy, I commend you on taking the responsible route of not only researching the animals requirements before you buy, but also for researching where to purchase an animal from.
It seems like you have a number of options for breeders, and I wish you the best of luck in finding what you're looking for.
Welcome to the hobby, and most of all, welcome to Fauna!
Please do post pics of her once you get her home.

Thanks for the overwhelming response. Does anyone have any contact info for Alex Hue in GR? I found Evan's website last night from this forum but didnt see normals on his site. I guess he posted them all here. I sent him an email before I found that out. The pics of his look amazing. I will check out the Alex since he is closer and would be able to help me should problems arise. Its good to know there are some reputable breeders nearby. I currently live in Allendale (Grand Rapids) since I am away at college but will probably stay in my apartment here next summer. Home is Flushing (Flint) so neither of these two breeders are far from where I live.

Welcome to Fauna!
It's always refreshing to see someone who does all of their research BEFORE buying their new reptile friend, and thinks about all of their future needs as well!
I think you'd be very happy getting your new girl from Alex.
