Hi to all my fellow Snake fans.
I Started keeping snakes as a kid in the 70s {yes i am old, sigh }. I started seriously in the 80s. Only wild caught available then. I did a lot of volunteer work with the reptile section of the centre for Life studies at london zoo. It was a cool lab with Rock iguanas walking around free. I could also get into the zoo via a back door.
In the early 2000s I had many types of snakes and breed them quite successfully, but never ball Pythons.
Life hit me about 2010 and I had to stop. Hope those things never happen to you all. However, I am more permanently settled now and can feed my hunger for snakes and breeding them again now.
I have really missed it.
This time instead of trying to have as many types of snake as possible, I thought it through a bit more.
I decided to focus on Ball Pythons. Well there is so much variety in just that one kind of snake anyway.
Last time I had snakes there were only a few morphs of ball pythons, so now I am desperately trying to catch up with the all the current Morphs.
I miss meeting up with other breeders, sharing information and so on.
Looking forward to getting back into the game.
Barry.
Hey Barry,
I’m from Manchester UK
Glad to hear your getting back in the game! Feel free to share some pictures as it unrolls
Welcome to the Community Barry!
I am new to Ball Pythons also. I am learning a lot about BP’s from everyone on here. Be sure to check out the helpful list of allelic-morphs-aka-complexes and the list of morphs that can have defects if bred together.
This Community is a very good source for information not only for Ball Pythons, but for other reptiles as well.
I remember these dark times lol. Welcome to the community Barry!!!
Welcome back.
Welcome to the community and back to the hobby. BPs should be just like riding a bike for you.

A year later:
I am diagnosed dyslexic amongst other Asperses Spectrum Traits.
I will have to edit often a few moments later to clarify.
Please do not rush to judge either way. Thanks
