I got an email a little over 2 months ago asking if I would be willing to feature an article about a new website relating to snakes, particularly Ball Pythons. I took a look and agreed to do it. Unfortunately life got hectic and I wasn’t able to complete it until now. In fact up until this point I’ve not posted anything at all, but going forward there will be regular updates to pet-snakes.com.

Introducing Ball Pythons for Sale
Ball Pythons for Sale is an ingenious idea. It takes the craigslist idea of online community advertising and strips it down to one simple element, Ball Pythons. You won’t find any other species of snake available on this site. That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of snakes listed. After all the number of Ball Python morphs is incredible:



I don’t have a Ball Python to sell so I wasn’t able to fully test the functionality of the site, or give a review on the whole selling process but from what I see it looks very straight forward. The ad rules page tells you what you need to do in order to sign up for an account and list ball pythons for sale. I checked out the Google ranking for the phrase “ball pythons for sale” and consistently it has ranked on the first page. For a seller that means almost everyone who goes to Google look for that phrase is going to see Ball Pythons for Sale somewhere in the top 10 sites listed. You simply can’t ask for better exposure than that!

For the buyer the process is even easier. You see a snake you are interested in, click on the listing and take a look at the details. You can then leave a public comment/question about the sale or you can contact the advertiser privately. All of the seller contact information is listed in plain site and you don’t need to be a member of the site to see it! Unlike other online classified sites that take a cut of the sale as a commission the owner of Ball Pythons for Sale has chosen to forgo that source of income. I don’t know if that model will change in the future, but as someone who has searched high and low for ball pythons in the past I personally wouldn’t mind paying a reasonable commission for the service.

We’re working on adding several layers of new content to this website over the course of the next couple of weeks. While hours and hours of our searching for the relevant information online is fun we can’t help but think there MUST be a better way. Then we realized we should just ask you for some help.

What we’re doing
We’re compiling a state by state listing of the following:

  • Exotic Animal Vets
  • Snake Breeders/Sellers
  • Herping Clubs

As you might imagine it’s a daunting task locating and verifying all of them.

What we’re asking for
We are asking for our readers to send in their suggestion for any of the three items listed above. It’s a simple as that. Just send us an email with the name, address, phone number, and website if applicable for the organization we should include in our listing. In the email please be sure to include the subject line “StXSt-list” (without the quotes). That way we can set the spam filters to be sure and let those emails pass through.

So if you think you can help please don’t hesitate to send that information our way.
