    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....

Hi, my names Jerrod. I need some help with getting started in breeding ball python morphs. I started 4 years ago when I was 15 but with having to move I was forced to sell my collection. In between of moving I lost all my notes that a friend helped me with and I just need a little advice on what I need to get morph wise. Right now all I can house is six snake in the homemade rack im building. Any help and advice will be much appreciated. Thank you. :)
 
I always give the same advice: Take a look at as many different morphs as you can and pick the ones you like the best!

Where in Oklahoma are you from? There is a pretty nice reptile show in OKC this weekend. I have never been, but I hear its bigger and has more selection than the showin Tulsa.

On a side note, only having room for six snakes you should take your time and make sure what you are getting is going to help you produce the snakes you want too. You can get proven normal females for $100, you might get one just so you can be sure your breeding system works so that you dont lose a very expensive clutch!
 
We haven't bred any of our animals yet, but the best advice I received in the beginning is to do your homework. Buy a few books, research, research, research. There's alot of great info on the web as well. We're learning something new almost everyday it seems. Learn as much as possible about husbandry before you start adding animals to your collection. Once you have a good grasp on that, then start researching breeding as you start building your collection.

As far as morphs, I agree w/everyone above. Get what you like, not necessarily what's "hot" right now. Here's a great site to research morphs and combos.

Best of luck getting going! Keep us posted on what you decide to start with :)
