For Sale - 2009 Ball Pythons
November Special - Buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko sale!
First, I've got to point out that I'm busily cranking out CSS and XHTML code for a complete re-work of this site. During the interim prior to launching the new version, please point out any inoperable items on this site you might run across - I tend to bust a lot stuff as I go along in life, just ask my wife. This is also a good time to make suggestions for changes or additions you'd like to see...

With that launch, we'll be making our 'free shipping on all orders over $250' permanent. For now, we've extended it yet again as part of our monthly special.

So here's how that works: Using our simple shopping cart system, just place an order  for $250.00 or more of our reptiles and the shipping will be free! The shopping cart will even calculate the correct total for you. The only details:
  1. To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via debit/credit card or PayPal account. No exceptions.
  2. Offer applies only to shipments within the continental US. Shipments to Alaska or foreign destinations are not eligible.
  3. Before somebody asks: Types can be mixed to achieve the $250.00 total in any way you desire, choose from geckos, snakes, any colors, any sexes. It's up to YOU!
OK, now for the real monthly special...

We've decided to bring back our most popular special of all time, our 'buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko sale'. So here's how it works: Using our simple shopping cart system, just order any two (or four or six and so on) Leopard Geckos. The cart is not smart enough to know which one should be free, so placing it in your cart will get you charged for it. For every two ordered, simply list another in the 'notes' field during PayPal checkout (or send to us in a separate email) as your free one. 
  1. To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via credit or debit card. No exceptions.
  2. The free ones need to be equal or lower in price than the ones in each pair, you're not going to get a $500 specimen for free after buying two $25 specimens. I know some genius out there will try it, it won't work.
  3. Offer applies only to new orders placed on or after 11/1/09. This offer may be cancelled at any time, without notice.
  4. Be prepared for some substitutions to be requested. Each time we run this sale, geckos move out fast and getting duplicate orders for the same specimens is common. Needless to say, it's first-come-first-served, and we'll work to get you the assortment you want.

Opal or Super Pastel Ball Pythons
Super Pastel Ball Pythons are simply the homozygous expression of the Pastel. Incredibly useful in breeding projects, as everything produced from them will be a Pastel, no matter what it's bred to. We've carefully selected our breeders for intense yellows and very pale centers on dark areas. Super Pastel Ball Pythons are simply the homozygous expression of the Pastel.

Cinnamon Ball Pythons
Allelic to Black Pastel. Essentially a color variant of the Black Pastel, but those color variations lead to some interesting effects when this trait is combined with others, notably in the Silver Bullet Ball. Coloration is much lighter, resulting in classic cinnamon colors with extreme blushing. The super form is a patternless brownish black snake simply called the Super-Cinnamon.

Surplus Adult/Subadult Ball Pythons
From time to time, we have various adults and subadults available. Most adults are proven breeders from our colonies. Many subadults are specimens we grew up to evaluate for use as potential breeders.  

Ghost Ball Pythons
Hypomelanistic. Completely lacking any true black pigment in the epidermal layers, with traces remaining in some of the deeper layers. Shed skins lack all pigmentation. This gives the snake a pale 'ghostly' coloration. A 'must have' for enhancing other morphs by lightening the colors to create 'Honeybees', 'Caramel Glows', etc. Ours are proven compatible with common  bloodlines, such as 'Orange', 'Butterscotch', etc. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Note from the breeder: This guy is a major producer, but with so many male Spiders carrying other traits, such as Pastel, Lesser Platinum, Hypo or Piebald, ready for next year, I just can't justify keeping a plain Spider around. Sad to see him go though, as many of the snakes I just mentioned that we're using to  replace him are HIS offspring.

What do all these numbers and stuff mean?

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen, and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, and are updated monthly on average.

Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

  • F021-01M indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).

  • F021-01M indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed as F021- are from the same clutch.

  • F021-01M indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F would the third female from that clutch.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.

CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.

WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.

LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of capture. Applies only to WC animals, indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very well established.

50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous for the listed trait.
