    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?

There is an AZ ball python breeding group on FB you can join up with. has over 100 people in it

David Bellis is also a good breeder as far as I know. You also have Kelly Gottberg (KY Reptiles on here). There's tons of us in this state :)
 
Definitely do your homework on anybody you decide to do business with in this hobby James.. It's worse than going to a used car lot!

To be fair.. There are some 'pretend-a-breeders' that just don't have the integrity to do what is right for an animal when the 'stuff' hits the fan.

In reality; Luman, Green, Bellis, Marki, Lipps, Gonzalez.. Some of the best are in Az! Sadly, so are some of the worst!

David Bellis, Willow, and David Green are friends i have sold or bought stuff from them. They are all awesome. Even the ones i havent bought from but have met seem to all be good people (for the most part).
 
Maybe this is the proper venue to air this..... My severely stunted 1.6 year old female Granite from Kelly is doing a little better these days... The chew marks on her back are barely healing, but, they are.. The holes in her lip are healing, but, they're there... And we finally made 330 grams while everybody else her age is 800 plus grams.. DEFINITELY DO YOUR HOMEWORK! I thought I would try and 'step' into the Granite gene through KY Reptiles... I am STILL trying to wash that taste out of my mouth..

Sam, how did your female turn at out Daniel's house? I never got an update on that from him, or your thread, as I thought you were paying for a vet visit? Please don't inform me that she has died because neither you, or him, had funds to get her 'fixed.' I'm real curious about this.
 
this is starting to get in BOI territory. Do not discuss details of deals. This is everyone's one warning.
