First pic is of Sapphira and the second pic is of Tyrone. Brian has quality stuff and these pics show that.

Nice MBK'S! I love my female! I need a male now lol.

The only thing I don't like about BHB is that they're always showing really cool morphs and snakes on SnakeBytes but they NEVER have anything unique for sale.

lol that's true. I don't know if it's me checking at the wrong times but I've never seen a carpet python for sale on their website, yet there was a video of them showing their large carpet collection.

I've been checking their site regularly for the last year or so... Never once seen a carpet... Mostly garters, corns, kings, and Ball Pythons.

Exwizard, nice Mexican Mexican King. I like the Thayers Variable Kings better than the pure Black color. Gray Banded Kings are nice too.

They are suppliers for other sellers. They produce more snakes than anyone in the US or atleast one of the top producers, but selling one snake to joe shmoe isn't where they make most of their cash I don't think. Selling hundreds of corns to pet-stores etc. etc. is probably where they make it all.

It's the point that they're CONSTANTLY showing really nice snakes, that they have a large number of (therefore they are able to sell some) but they're never available. I think that kind of sucks... They just sell the "leftovers”/the lower quality snakes that come from a clutch. I.E they make a bunch of High Quality Ball Pythons, Sell the normals and hets on their site. Or at least that's what it seems like.

I understand that they have holdbacks for future projects but they pretty much take all the good stuff and give us what they don't want. Do they really need to keep all those snakes?! Or do whatever they do with the snakes they don't sell?

Mikoh4792 · 10-16-13, 01:04 AM

Can't blame them for it. That's the good thing about breeding your own snakes. You can choose the "quality" ones and sell the rest.

ErikBush97 · 10-16-13, 01:08 AM

I know, but still... 30,000 snakes in their facility and there's usually about 50 snakes available on their site... That just doesn't seem right.

Starbuck · 10-16-13, 04:14 AM

I thought in the last video where he posted about the carpet pythons he said they were just getting to breeding age. Just because he has thoisands of snakes in his facility doesn't mean they are all for sale!!!!! Some are baby holdbacks, still growing to breeding age. Some of the more rare species might not have a mate yet (he just bought a cribo I think, don't know if that has a boyfriend yet?), the females might be taking a season off, etc etc etc....

ErikBush97 · 10-16-13, 04:23 AM

Still. There's no way for me to understand having over 30,000 snakes and selling 50 of them. That's crazy

Starbuck · 10-16-13, 05:25 AM

the have 50 'tiles' for snakes, they probably have several hundred baby corns, kings, Bps etc. they arent going to create a different 'sale' tile for each one.

smy_749 · 10-16-13, 05:32 AM

They arent all hold backs.... Just because he doesnt sell on the site, doesnt mean he doesnt sell through contracts and wholesale, maybe even export. He shows the good snakes because its a show, thats what people wanna see. Would you like him to show you normal balls and corns each week? Its also good advertising, you went to the site didnt you ;-)?

In the end, he has BHB, and makes a bunch of money so whatever way he does it, is obviously working.....
