Reptile & Amphibian Forums

So, im looking for some recomendations on ball python breeders. I live in the midwest and would like to hear some customer feedback on different business. I would like to give my business to small operations, and am having trouble finding them.
Thank You, Eric

where in the midwest are you located and what are you looking for? I can think of several great breeders in WI & IL and depending if you prefer face to face or shipping im sure that will make a difference.

i dont know to many small breeders in the midwest and pending on your location that matters to and if you wanna do face to face deals or dont mind shipping tho i do know 1 big name midwest breeder who is a GREEAT guy

Garrick DeMeyer(sp?)in Wausau WI. I would do biz with him again.The animals I got from him are outstanding.

i know he's not a small breeder but BHB is awsome.... i'm biased cause he's a friend... but his animals are awsome and he's a great dude to deal with..... and Twin city reptiles in minneapolis is great too... both have great animals and will help you with all your needs.

exactly all three are grereat and all ones iw as thinking of but he wanted "small scale" breeders lol i have delt with all three and all three are great but once again he wants small scale breeder

why not just the BEST experience possible, and highest quality animal?

befuddling to see folks go on about the "small breeder", as if the "big breeder" isn't BUSTING BUTT to do the best possible job and have the best possible animals.

this isn't a tech industry, or big business. in the grand scheme, even the biggest breeders in the industry are small businesses.

the internet gives you access to every decent breeder in the country, there is no reason not to go with the best possible source you can.

there are TONS of bad deals to be had with "small breeders". there are also PLENTY of "big breeders" that will blow you away with quality and service.

agreed there is good big breeders and good small breeders and vise versa but what he is asking for is a good small breeder personaly i have diff big breeders depending what i am looking for and i base it off of what they have and how my experiance went with them not on big small or where located

I know a few in the Kansas City area if you are anywhere near there.

Crested Gecko (Garrick Demeyer) is a great guy. Also Bruce Delles of Twin City Reptiles is also a great guy to deal with.

All depends on what morphs are you looking for and where you live if you are looking for someone nearby.

Depending on where you live, there are many small breeders/hobbyists that you can contact. Also, there are several good reptile shows in the midwest you can check out. Kansas City, Mo. Herp Society has a good show, one in spring and one in fall - so does Omaha Neb. Herp Society. Des Moines, Ia has a fall show, etc.....let us know where you hail from so we can help you out!
