Hi I am new to this froum and am wondering if anyone knows of a good ball / royal python breeder in the uk? I have been doing my research and have decided I will be able to give the care needed to this snake. I however plan on waiting till next year before I get my ball to give me extra time to do even more reseach and to get the housing etc set up. The extra time will also allow me to spread the cost of the set up out so that it is of less stress to my finances. I should say that as a child we rescused a ball python so I already know about some of the problems that can crop up and about basic care. It was the ball we rescused that got me hooked on snakes in the first place I currently have a young amel corn which I am bringing back to health after a bad start in its life due to it being part of a mass production project. When I got the poor little thing it was the size and weight of a hatchling dispite the fact it was at least 5 months old, hench alot of time and effort has gone into looking after this little one. My main and first love whenit comes to snakes however is balls and I look forward egerly to the day when I bring my first one home.

Hi, and welcome to the HCN. We are glad to have ya

Good for you that you are taking the time to get a lot of information and a good set-up for your BP first!!!!
You're going to save yourself a lot of stress (financial and psychological) doing it that way.
I think it's great that you rescued that poor little cornsnake too...I hope he continues to improve.
Good luck in your search for a Royal. The UK members might be able to point you in the right direction for a good breeder.

Oh and WELCOME to the HC Network!!!!

thanks for those aiden I will look into them and see what I think of them also thanks for the welcomes from everyone else.

That last one does not seem to exist at least my comp could not find it. Having had a good look at price lists It will be alot longer than just next year before I get my royal but they are well worth waiting for.

www.fantasticreptiles.com try that one

Grins yep that one worked oh that royal deal has me really intrested £80 for the python and full set up is tempting I guess I better get hold of a copy of the royal / ball python manual asap as I think I am going to need it. I will stay strong and stick to doing it the long but safer way I will. Well depending on just what the full starter kit has and if it all checks out as safe anyway.

That is a good deal go for it if you think you are ready.
