My fiance's baby ball python just passed away today. He's devastated. I'm thinking about getting him another baby. Any thoughts? And does anyone know where I can get another baby in good health? This little guy was bought at a pet store, and had been quite a bit of trouble. (not eating, etc) Please, any advice is welcome. This is the first snake we've ever lost.

Sorry for the loss... you could check out BHB Reptiles at BHBReptiles.com

you could always consider getting a corn..they have a tendency to accept meals more so then ball pythons...best of luck to you..

Thanks for the tip... I checked out their site, but couldn't find any prices. (maybe I didn't look hard enough?) I know that BP babies can be difficult eaters, but it just seems that while we have other snakes, the BPs are more his babies, and the corns mine. (The others we share better ;D) He's been so supportive in what he calls my "corn obsession" (I only have 8!), and is so attentive to ...

Second... correct me if I am wrong but Bob Clark is a US resident right? so... http://www.bobclark.com/prices_sub.asp?pid=19 His pastels/cinamon pastels, male ghosts and others all fit the price you spoke of. Or you could go for a cool het with which your husband can toy around with(like the Ivory). I am sorry for your loss... my first ...

Sorry to hear about the loss of your SO pet It's always hard on us supporting folks, because we want to take away the pain and there's nothing we can really do. I know my reptile store (that I trust) has BP babies for sale, but that doesn't do you much good. Have you checked Kathy Love's site? I believe she has some BPs for sale. And you can believe they will be healthy individuals. ...

Thank you so much to everyone for all the support! This site is amazing! Lady Ohh, if you're reading this: thank you most of all. You are my new personal hero (heroine)

Ah sorry to hear this! My boyfriend bought me a baby BP for my birthday.. We bought him from a pet store because we know the the managers and their conditions are excellent.. I got my first corn from them and she is amazing.. Anyway - I have had my baby ball for around 6 weeks now and he loves to eat! He even ate while blue the other day. He has grown so much already I just cant believe it!! So ...
