I buy all my c.h from ben because they are some of the best you can get. I got 300 2 weeks ago from him and they were all exceptinal, this shipment weas by far the best of the year though. The babies were more colorful and about 25-30 grams bigger.

I have heard of buying lots before but 300!!!!!! How much did that cost? What are you going to do with then all? Why so many? Where would you keep such a large # of snakes??? I am really curious about this.....one last question, what other snakes sell in lots that big, and any idea of price ranges?

To answer your questions:
1.0- a lot
2.0 - hold back the weird ones and some females sell the rest.
3.0- they are seasonal so get the good ones while you can
4.0- rack systems in our reptile roon, stacked in shoe boxes on top of our racks, on top of our boaphile cages, and anywhere else I can find room.
5.0 Boas sell in large quanities to importers too. We whent to strickl;eys to handpick some lizards and they has a bout 1000 boas on hand and about 1500 balls. We picked a few [25] weird balls and 18 boas from them because they had just come in the day before.Its all about sitting on them until the off season then they sell for more. We have 279 ball pythons right now, and have sold 155 this month so far so as you can tell they go fast.Thanks

I put nthe crayon in the box when I took the pic to see how there colors came out. I figured it was easier to compair the crayon colr to the pic then the ball. We got a lot of weird ones from this group, my friend I was picking with got a axanthic . We got what looks to be a true genetic granite too.

I got 20 last Saturday from Ben at the NC show. He always has some good fat babies.i got a striped girl from him a couple years ago that is awsome. Great looking babies you picked out.

Glad to hear this, I just ordered a 10 lot from him. I have always heard good things about him, and he was willing to meet my shipping needs, but to see what he has, that makes me fell better.

Will post pics when I get them.

Ben seigal is one of the best. We have bought 405 balls from him so far this year, my friend I was picking with got a axanthic from him for $8.50 in a c.h shippment, and he just looked at it said , hum, axanthic and put it in the bag.Ball room south is also very good too.
