Hi. My name is willow! I had my first snake(corn snake) at 10urs old. I'm now 15 and have a year old male mojave ball python. He has an amazing temperament. I take him in public and let people hold him and he doesn't get tense near strangers. I plan on finding a female to breed him with. I also have a young green iguana from a rescue. I just lost a bearded dragon last night and joined this thread to talk to other reptile enthusiasts.

If you have a good priced female ball python (preferably a spider,purple passion, or ghost phewter)please contact me!

Welcome to the community. Your best bet is looking for reputable breeders in your area. Shipping would cost you more than the animals

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately bringing your snake out in public is a bad idea. It serves literally zero benefit for the animal and only stresses the animal. Snakes are not social animals and you lugging him around doesn't help him.

And not to rain on your parade, but until you learn more about snakes you should put breeding way back on the back burner. Until you understand snakes it's best not to bring more into the world. And if you're dragging your snake around in public you've unfortunately got a lot to learn still.

This is a good point on breeding. There's a thread in the general section called "patience" and I think it would be a great read for you OP. It's all about how people jump into breeding and collecting too fast usually to the detriment of their animals.
