Nice Ron!
Jeff, what about proven females???

Then I'm even MORE sketched out Trev. If they are willing to give up a female that could give them $10,000 worth of eggs for like $100, then something must be up. So the fact that they are "proven" (and how can they PROVE that?) doesn't make me feel any better because the only people I would even consider buying an adult animal from would never be selling adult female BP's in the first place.

Plus, with proper planning, a Ball breeder can work it so that he's never in need of adult female ball Pythons. I honestly couldn't use one right now unless I bought another co-dom. But when I do, I have another 12 females growing up.

I'm keeping back about 75 balls from this year........90% of those are females.

No Chris, Corey is crazy, that's why. LOL!

I just bought a house.............with lots of basement. I'm probably keeping back more than 75........but in the end that's probably as many as I'll end up keeping back. When animals turn a year old people want them and are willing to pay more for them.......so the odd yearling I'll let go. Usually they are males but sometimes I let go of a female for the right price.

How do you prove your animals are proven? We post pics all time of copulation, egg laying and hatching. If an animal produces for us most of us record it and document it with pics.

What about people getting out of balls, or downsizing like I'm considering doing?
