Places to BUY and SELL ball pythons? Is morph market any good? Is there another way??

[@northwoodsreptile]

I bought a banana het pied from morph Market and I just met dav kaufman at a coffee shop to pick it up

[@texaskidreptiles7418]

I was checking my morph market the other day and was looking at some animals that haven’t sold, and was asking myself this question just last night 😂 great topic.

[@dennisstromberg1475]

Love to go to shows but nothing is like meeting you in person you are down to earth and a lot of fun to chat with.Thank you for all the videos.You know what your doing and love to hear what your thinking about today.Thanks for everything you do .

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

For the algorithm P.S. I love when people are real and don't sensor their random bad words

[@SnakesandDoggies]

Holy Crap man you BLEW UP!!!!! I just realized you now have 56.5 Thousands subs!!!!! I think that's the entire reptile community lol! Congratulations Matt good for you man that's awesome! I thought you were at 5K maybe topps, lol! Good for you man!!!!!

[@OlympusReptiles]

@@OlympusReptiles You'll get there brother! Keep doing your thing, people like you! It's harder nowadays cause there are sooooooo many!

You said a good show is in Lincoln. Was that Lincoln, Ne.? They're doing a new expo in Lincoln, NE Nov 6th and 7th. Were you hinting at coming to the show?

[@OlympusReptiles]

I may one of these days

[@mysticoverlord2975]

Morph market isn't bad I got my first python their a couple days after Christmas last year 2020 and it's almost his birthday he was born in November it probably depends on the seller but mine was really good he's doing well to this day bigger than before definitely

[@OlympusReptiles]

Absolutely. It isn't bad, but like all ways has positive and negative

[@mainnerd2222]

Thanks for this. I'm not a breeder, I'm more of a "collector", all though my collection isn't big. I have a few morphs that I would like to get, I own 2 of the morphs that I like, and there are 3 more I would like to get. As someone who is just wanting to buy certain morphs, and not wanting to breed, this was still helpful advice as to what to look out for on morph market (I've bought both my ball pythons from morph market).

[@aaronmorrill3716]

I honestly believe I've found my life's passion in Ball Pythons.ive been studying and researching breeding and the hobby for well over a year. I recently got a baby male us bred regular (although he has a lot of white and some interesting markings) to learn husbandry. His name is Raa and I love him! He has only reinforced my love for the hobby and I'm now making plans to breed. I watched your vid on starting small and it def makes the most sense for me. I will prob go with 6 fem to 2 males for my project. Starting with basics, lesser, pastel, leopard and mojave for my first 1 male to 3 fem project. All reasonably priced basic must have genetics. Unsure about the 2nd group of 4 snakes but am open to any advice... Just wanted to say I've come across a lot of "big" breeding channels but have found myself turning to you for mentorship. I feel like you take a very realistic approach while providing solid advice on interesting and extremely useful topics. Id do anything to sit down and talk with someone like you over a drink lol. Jjust wanted to say thank you for all the solid tips. New Sub here! Hopefully some day I make it to the reptile show level and get a chance to thank you in person. Much respect from AZ!

Edit: excuse the typos... my brain also moves faster than my hands lol.

[@vincentthekeeper2163]

When FB was the wild west for animal sales it was easy to get established. I was actually trading with bigger names my first season. It's a lot harder now it seems.

[@rosiehilal667]

Do you have plans to make a video on how to build your reputation in the reptile world? If not I hope you do think about it! I’m in my first year of breeding and would love to know some of the secrets to building a customer base and reputation as a breeder!

[@OlympusReptiles]

We haven't hit that specific, but if you look at last couple of business videos, it is in there

[@tonyabruzzi4549]

I’m struggling on mm just bc I’m so small scale but our local Facebook pages have basically been shadow banned. Same with my reptile Instagram account.

[@blueberrylemon1214]

I have a Puma (spark + YB) with spider male and I just got a little (possible super) pastel lesser Enchi 100% het ghost with some crazy paradox in her tail!! Super psyched to breed them eventually :))

[@jamesadams6023]

Hey love your videos. Have learnt so much from your channel. Thank you for that... I was wondering if you ship to the UK?

[@seanna262]

Do You have to pay for a patron membership to see your available balls?

[@dvlexotics2177]

I can say I've made more money selling on Craigslist and met most of my repeat customers off there. I've also come across the best deals on snakes on craigslist. For instance I bought a 1300 gram pied ball python female for 350.00 now was she the healthiest looking snake nope she was dehydrated and hadn't eaten for the owner for almost a year. I've also gotten a NERD line bumble bee back when they were still kinda pricey for 75.00 it was a beautiful snake and was only purchased as a pet for my daughter. And I bought it because the owner didn't exactly know what they were doing and I definitely did them and the snake a favor. And a few powerhouse males for cheap money either from people getting out of the hobby or somebody suffering from buyers remorse.

[@dvlexotics2177]

And the pied ended up recovering and becoming one of my best breeders and weighing in at a whopping 2700 grams

“There are two things you need: 1) a muse and 2) a benefactor (One who confers a benefit; a kindly helper: as, “the great benefactor of mankind”) “ - Rosemary’s Baby (remake) The Muse will be the other breeders & their snakes as your benefactor can be the friend who tells their friends, who in turn tells their family & friends, who then gets the word out of what you have someone they know will want. So, be apart of the world by the internet, showings and good friends who has contacts of their own. Oh and one more thing, the Ball Pythons will always be the Muse who’ s colorful scales and unique personalities will keep you guessing on what colors, patterns and gene combos they can create when pairing them together. They truly are nature’s Muse (as in Greek mythology…not the rock band).

I'm so oblivious sometimes... I pictured an actual friend hiding in the bushes waiting for shit to go down

Morph Market is doing a new thing where a "known" seller can verify a new seller with a video call to show your setup and animals. Which I think is super cool since, I will be a new seller next year. I don't buy from new sellers, I'd rather pay more than buy from a "new seller". I bought from 1 last month, I knew I was taking a risk but the price was great, but the shipping packing the seller did was the worst ever. I'm actually surprised the snake is ok after it. No insulation, the snake was in the box(which was oversized) with 6 deli cups as "cushion" no real packing materials

[@OlympusReptiles]

Wow. I don't know about a known seller verifying a new seller. I could see some people possibly with the "known" tag selling that. Call me, pay this much to me to get "verified". I like the try by morph market, it is above and beyond.

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

@@OlympusReptiles yep, they are also doing a new morph-pedia. Which is great for me being new, there are so many morphs and learning them all will take time. It tells you everything! What attributes the head/belly/body/ tail may display

[@dehb1ue]

It’s easy to sell a $500 snake with little reputation (as long as it’s a visual desert ghost). But I’m sure you’re right that there’s a limit. OzzyBoids can sell some of his high end stuff for thousands more than I could.

[@JayJitz]

Been trying to find how to buy snakes from you - any way to do it without going to your shop?

[@OlympusReptiles]

we no longer own the part of the physical shop. Best way is to join our patreon using a link in any non live video description. You can follow us more closely, see where we are going to be, and we post our sales list there.

[@daroyalpythons1887]

You going to the expo in Wichita in December Sir? I would like to meet you if you do

[@OlympusReptiles]

I do not know at this point. If I am I will likely post it on yt (in the community part, not video). And will be dressed in purple

[@thehitomiboy7379]

Regarding morph market incorrect listings, if it's obviously not something, report it. I started doing it, asked MM if I should be, and they gave me the green.

[@sosoblackfeather6504]

When you go to a show, you need not worry about being scammed. No, seriously anyone who s selling you a snake online saying the baby ball python eats “regular size mice”, asks if you are still interested in buying their snake and if so “we can pick a time and location” as if it were an underground deal of some sort. Yea, that happened and I decided I’ll wait til the Reptile Show date.

[@raiderscas6652]

What do you think about WAY MORE MORPHS? I was thinking about buying a Green anaconda off them.

[@OlympusReptiles]

I don't know much about them

[@pyro2611]

I would buy whatever animal looked better, not just buy from BHB/NERD because they're big on social media. As long as the seller is willing to communicate with you and send you more pictures should you ask for them, there is no reason John Doe is any worse than a mega breeder that sells thousands every year. Yeah, obviously if the seller doesn't respond or is unwilling to provide more pictures, etc., go with someone else. All else equal, I'd say the hobby breeder actually cares more about their animals over the guys producing thousands every year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@unapologeticallypatriotic3853]

I sell all of my snakes to petland and what's good about my shops here w/in 100miles is they don't hagle with me on prices, I tell em a price and that's exactly what she pays if she can't take all of them she will call the GM's of store around a 100 or so miles and they'll take the rest of them and cut me a check it'll arrive the following Thursday.

Did you mean Lincoln Nebraska when you said Lincoln I live here in Lincoln and I wanna start breeding I love your vids

Yes

Favorite reptile species

[@michaelross5674]

I'm in Delaware we can openly carry

[@OlympusReptiles]

Kansas too. Kansas is open carry, and constitutional concealed carry. From a tactical point, I prefer concealed.

[@michaelross5674]

I would need a permit to conceal carry

Do you have your own website for your own balls that you sell? Would love to look.
