Ball Pythons

Ball Python Project

To start with the main purpose of this page is to detail the ball pythons in my collection so that there is a list ready made for anyone interested in purchasing the project outright.
I've been considering getting out of breeding the balls for a few years now. It's not because prices have fallen, or I'm afraid the market is going to completely collapse. Many incorrectly assume that is the case.
I've always enjoyed keeping the balls, but I never set out to get involved with them very deeply. But as one was added here and another there, then I started making some money for a change, I sort of got lost in it all. As the collection grew, and along with it the percentage of time I have to devote to their care and breeding, I have found myself being pulled away from some of the projects I really want to pursue.
After a personal evaluation of why I work with them I realized it was only because of the money really. They've bought me some nice toys, and a lot of nice animals, but I cannot be happy producing a species just to make some money. I need something to challenge me and offer opportunities for expanding my knowledge and the balls, as much as I like them, are in the way of that.
So this list is primarily for anyone interested in making a cash offer on the entire project. I do have a couple of balls that will not be included with the package, but they are of no importance to the overall project. One is a normal female I've had for around 18 years and I just will not part with her. I also plan to keep a normal male to go with her in case I want to breed her again in the future.
It should be noted that I am not interested in selling the project piecemeal. I need to work with all of them or none. I'm also not desperate to get them out of here or anything. I'm willing to make a good deal on the group, but I'm not looking to fire sale them by any means.
Partial trades might be considered, but only for a few things including Blackheaded pythons, Boelon's pythons, and Egyptian tortoises.
Here is a list of what I have. It's not a really large group by most standards as I have been able to maintiain a small amount of control over adding to the numbers. All dates refer to the year the snake was born.
Weights and photos can be provided to serious parties.

1.0 proven 2006 Albino

0.2 proven 100% het albinos (2004 and 2005)

0.2 2008 albinos

1.1 proven 100% het clowns (2004)

0.2 2007 clowns (photo of one of them is on the main page of the site)

1.0 proven spider (2006)

0.2 2007 spiders

1.0 proven 2006 pastel

0.1 2006 pastel

2.0 2004 50% possible het genetic stripes (Produced by Sean Bradley at EBN. Unproven because I've not gotten around to trying to prove them)

0.8 adult females (various ages, oldest is 6 years old, 5 are proven)

0.2 2008 females

1.0 normal male (age unknown, received in trade as a female)

A total of 26 balls. I was up to about 50 at one point, but have been slowly thinning the group out down to these over the past few years.
I'm not going to put a price on the project. If you want to make an offer, then send me a price you think is fair and if I agree we'll go from there.
Please don't send me any offers on specific snakes or certain groups, I am not going to sell any of these individually except possibly some of the normal females. If I keep any of them then I have plans to combine some of the genes so I'm not interested in just selling the albino group, or just the clown project.
All of these are rat feeders. I feed the balls almost exclusively live and fresh killed prey so I cannot say whether most or any of them will accept frozen thawed.
Most of these are currently being kept in two of my 41qt racks detailed on this page.
If you need them I can provide two of these racks with the snakes, complete with tubs, heat, and two ranco thermostats, for $450 each.
