Brief Bio:
I'm the founder of this forum and Snowballs Ball Pythons Co-Op. I have been involved in reptiles of some sort since I was a child. During the early 90's I was part owner of local reptile store. Lots of fun but lots of hard work too. I have chosen a team of Moderators that are enthusiastic and highly motivated to teach and learn. Together we have created a world class reptile educational forum that is loaded with information and has the most comprehensive Ball Python Morph Directory on the net. We hope that you take the time to join our community, have fun and maybe learn something along the way. I want to welcome you to our community and encourage you to share your experience and expertise with us.

Hello everyone, I am Mark one of the original co-founders of SBPs. I have know SBP for about 15 years now. I have seen some of his collection come full circle over the years. Mainly his RED HOTS. I was there when he started collecting them 7 or 8 years ago and coined the phrase RED HOTS on his first website. That was long before anyone else had them or started using the slogan with Amazon Tree Boas. When you are a leader in any industy you have to expect that you will Often imitiated but never duplicated. As far as I am concerned you couldn't ask for a more honest and genuine person to work with or to be a friend to. I do this as a part time hobby at best. So welcome to our forums and happy herping.

My name is James. I am 21 years of age. I am a musician of all sorts. I'm a Native of Southern California and currently reside in the San Fernando Valley, also known as Los Angeles' armpit. I've been into Ball Pythons for just about a year now. All I want to do is learn more about them and spread the simple knowledge of this: A) Ball Pythons are amazing and harmless (mostly) creatures.... and B) Proper care for these snakes. My goals are simple: Just to spread the word to the world of the greatness of the Python Regius! Eventually breed them for hobby and educate myself and others as much as possible.

I'm attending Vet tech classes in the spring and we're a full blown rescue operation. Thats me in as brief of a post as I can give ya...oh yeah and I spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME online (researching better care ideas for our "scaley kids" and now policing you guys!) *LOL*
