This may be a question that does not have an answer but i am curious anyway. Who is the biggest of the big breeders of ball pythons? Also, about how many animals does a "big breeder" have? How many do you generally breed in a year compared to the total amount you have? About how many people do you have working for you? How big of an issue is animals getting sick or eggs getting ruined for whatever reason? There are no real reasons for these questions i am just curious about how the big breeders operate. Thanks.

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

Probably Ralph but I think he is the only one of the big breeders who really lists out everything he produces. On the other end of the publicity spectrum you have the Bells who might produce a lot of ball pythons based on what they did with burms but who knows.

Brian Barczyk at BHB is one of the largest breeders....but he doesn't seem very vocal about all he has.
