David Fernandez? He use to get really nice CH balls but didn't see his ads this past season. I googled him and nothing but old post came up. Was really hoping to get some stuff from him again. Hope he is doing good.

he opted to no longer import. why i am not sure. i was hoping to get some of his babies this year as well. he was semi active on another forum a few months into last season showing pictures of balls that were sent to him from his exporter.
no one i know of has stepped up to take over where he left off, he definatly filled a niche. outback has some outstanding animals but they didnt advertise even 10% of the ones david had. i purchased a super nice extremely reduced male from them that was a 2010 ch. if anyone else knows why he chose to no longer import please let me know.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

The importing of "fancy stuff" has decreased DRAMATICALLY over the last 2 years. Even the large pet shop chains are having to buy captive bred animals -- not a bad thing!!!! Some visual morphs make it out, but the crates and crates of hatchling AND the gravid females seem to near over!!!

i know their is a huge amount going to the asian market for food. and i agree that the crates and crates of them not being imported is a good thing. but i still appreciate the special and fancy balls coming in. but thats just my opinion.

I appreciate the kind words and the inquiry.

Due to time and money constraints I had to step away from ball pythons altogether. Taking care of hundreds of animals is a full time job and once I felt that I couldn't give them the best care possible, it was time to move on.

I was proud of bringing in new morphs and I hope everyone remembers where all of our base morphs come from before they start getting down on importing. I was never a fan of importing thousands of normals and gravid females..but new genes are a different story.
