Thanks Bitis
Yes, I'm gonna see the parents of the bp, and the breeder even invited me to see the babies when they are born.That means I could actually choose one snake the day after it hatched,and I can visit a few times before I actually take the bp home.Because the breeder allows me to do so,I think he is a serious breeder! He also invited me on the beginning of April to see the eggs!I feel very fortunate to experience my future snake's life before it actually is hatched!

In that respect the breeder sounds very responsible and considerate - how old will the BP be when he releases it to you? For health reasons he should keep it until it has had several consecutive feeds, and has shed at least once, and is showing no signs of weakness or illness.
I still would not recommend buying two though, for the reasons stated before. But good luck with whatever you decide, and it's really good that you will get to see the parents, and know that they have come from a good, caring home.

He only gives the babies away when they have eaten at least ten times without problems!

Sounds like you found the perfect home to get your baby ball python from! 
Ask the breeder if he can get a poop sample from your snake to take to the vet before you take the snake home. Even if you have to pay to get the sample checked out, it's still better to be safe than sorry and bring home a sick baby.
Have you thought of a name yet?

Thanks Jem Scout,it's a good idea with the poop sample!
I haven't really decided on a name,but I thought of a few,some have a meaning,and some I just like! Let's see what you think about them,maybe you guys can help me decied: 1.Umai (this is from a native american mythology,because I love the culture;it means: a very big snake who lived in space.He saw the Earth being created and went to have a look..!
2.Merlin (sorry Merlin,hope you don't mind!) Because ten years ago I worked on a Las Vegas show on the Merlin character,and it was my best time in America,with the nicest people!
3.Tango - that was the only name I really liked on a web about names for snakes!
4.Tarzan-I think it sounds cool for a BP!

Of course not! 
I like Umai and your description of the character fits, at least the personality of my bp's. They are always checking out things!
It will also cover the reaction of non snake people when they see it,..OH MY!
