My approved breeders
**UPDATED 2013**
This list used to be much bigger hence a lot more useful, but unfortunately nearly all of my past approved breeders are no longer in the breeding business. I'll happily add them if I see they get back into it. I'm currently in dealings with a few more breeders and will have some more active approved breeders (hopefully) soon!
Rob Starzman at Designer Ball Pythons
I picked up Kalypso and Artemas from Rob in October 2013. I got a great deal on them! Rob has great customer service and was willing to entertain all my questions. I sent my payment and my snakes were shipped the same day. I received them the next day with superb packaging (see Youtube video) and in great health. He doesn't have a website, but does a lot of business on FaunaClassifieds. He has a lot of good reputation over on the BOI and I would certainly do business with him again!

reptiles message boards and sites
This is the go-to site for everything Ball Python! It's a great forum community filled with experienced breeders. The people are really friendly. The site also also has info on various constrictors, pythons, colubrids, and lizards. There's something for everyone!

Interested in Cornsnakes? This is the best messageboard out there and it is based completely on every aspect of Cornsnake care. A word of caution: most of these people don't take well to ignorance and arrogance and they WILL flame the crap out of you.

Love boas? This is like the site listed above, but for boids. They have good sections on Burms and especially Boas. There are some incredibly knowledged people on this forum.

This has to be the ultimate Reptile Messageboard in the entire world. When I say world, I literally mean the world. A place to buy, sell, or trade reptiles or amphibians. But it doesn't stop there. You can also buy, sell, or trade flowers, mammals, or equipment such as cages, tanks, and accessories. The best part of the site may be the Board of Inquiry aka the BIO. This is a place where you can ask questions about breeders/dealers BEFORE you buy any reptiles from them. The site is so huge, there is a good chance that someone has bought from them before or can help you. Just go there and read the rules and you'll get the jist of it. Besides that, this is a huge site and if you need anything, you can probably find it here.

This website has to be the best place for any care sheets on reptiles or amphibians out there. Created by Melissa Kaplan, who has a very extensive knowledge of these animals. They have a great section on Green Iguanas. Check it out.

Much like Faunaclassifieds, Kingsnake.com is one of the biggest reptile sites out there. They have everything on this site including lists of breeders, dealers, reptile shows, classifieds, forums, chats with celebrities (yes they have these kind of connections and once I spoke with Kerry King of Slipknot about Reticulated Pythons), you name it. It's not just a site for reptiles!
