Your post was well thought out - as someone whos looked at many many breeder sites over the past few years - I still am struggling with putting mine together. In all honestly I am more into content than concept or look. I want to see clear pictures (lots of them - especially if I'm buying something), clear information, I want the information to be easily accessible and not have to bounce around a bunch of places or figure someone else's jargon to get where I want to look. I think it really sucks that some people put in all the fancy bells and whistles and then doesn't bother to update regularly - old news, sold items, and broken links really are a pisser. I could care less about flashy banners, and fancy web design - I think your animals should be the focus and too much "extra" detracts attention. Of course too plain also looks like less than an effort was put in. Browser compatibility and the rest seems to be a nobrainer to me - but I'm a bit of a computer geek so maybe it's not to others.
My 2 cents and a quarter will get you a phone call I guess.
BTW - Cheryl at the Red Dragons Den has a page where she documented the size of some of her balls. People generally weigh their snakes on a somewhat regular basis, but I don't really know a lot of people that go through the trouble of trying to measure them. Since balls seem to grow at varying rates to compare the growth of one to another may be very misleading. You can have two snakes of the same age on the same diet in the same rack and one may grow twice as fast as the other. I have noticed you've asked about size weight length a bit lately so I thought I'd chip that in too - so I guess thats three cents.
