hi all,
I'm new to the forum and new to snake ownership (not that I actually own one yet but you know what I mean, I'm sure). I have always wanted to own a snake and have recently decided to take the plunge and have started looking into terrariums, etc. This is all fairly simple. Basically I'm just looking at the quality of the product versus the cost. Simple.
But now I am looking into breeders. I have done some research and decided I want a jungle carpet python. They seem pretty simple to look after, fairly hardy and tolerant of newbies. But I don't really know what I'm looking for in a quality breeder. Or how to tell if someone is legit or full of s***. Is there a website or somewhere that compares breeders objectively? etc etc I'm sure you get the idea what I'm looking for.
I'm not in a rush to buy. I want to take my time and make sure I'm doing things right rather than rush into things and make a botch of it. So the more suggestions the better
I'm did see a buy and sell section on this forum but I'm not sure I want to go through a private person. I would feel more secure dealing with a business of some sort until I know more and am more comfortable with my knowledge base, if that makes sense.
Thank you for reading my ramblings.
