Meet Ghost Constrictors

Built on Experience. Raised With Purpose.

Our story doesn’t start with breeding ball pythons.

It starts decades earlier — with a genuine love for reptiles, a deep respect for the responsibility that comes with keeping them, and a belief that how an animal is raised matters just as much as what it looks like.

A Lifelong Passion, Not a Trend

We’ve been keeping reptiles since the 1990s.

Long before social media, before morph hype, before online marketplaces — reptiles were already part of our daily lives. Over the years, we’ve worked hands-on with a wide range of species including ball pythons, leopard geckos, tegus, blue tongue skinks, iguanas, bearded dragons, and leachianus geckos, just to name a few.

These weren’t short-term projects or passing interests. They were long-term commitments that shaped how we understand reptile behavior, health, husbandry, and — most importantly — trust.

That foundation matters.

Because experience can’t be rushed, and it can’t be faked.

From Building Homes to Raising Lives

In 2016, we took that lifelong experience and entered the reptile industry professionally as custom reptile enclosure builders.

For years, we designed and manufactured enclosures trusted by thousands of private reptile keepers, along with zoos, wildlife centers, and nonprofit organizations across the country. Those enclosures weren’t just products — they were environments where animals would live for years, sometimes decades.

That responsibility taught us something critical:

Reptiles thrive when they feel secure, understood, and properly cared for — and that starts long before they ever arrive in their forever home.

When the time came to sell that business and transition into the ball python space, we carried every lesson with us.

We didn’t just change what we worked with.
We elevated how we worked.

Why We Breed Ball Pythons Differently

Today, our focus is raising high-quality, well-started, family-raised ball pythons that are prepared for life in a home — not just a rack.

Every snake we produce is:

  • Raised in a family environment
  • Given time to establish strong feeding habits
  • Regularly handled and socialized
  • Observed closely for health, behavior, and confidence
  • Represented honestly and transparently

We don’t rush growth.
We don’t cut corners.
And we never treat animals like inventory.

Our goal isn’t to produce the most snakes — it’s to raise snakes we’re proud to stand behind.

More Than Genetics

Genetics matter — and we take them seriously. But beautiful patterns and rare traits mean very little if the animal behind them isn’t healthy, calm, and well cared for.

That’s why our breeding program prioritizes:

  • Proper early care
  • Stress-reduction from day one
  • Consistency in handling and feeding
  • Long-term success in a home environment

Many of our customers tell us the same thing:

“You can tell they were raised differently.”

That’s not an accident.
It’s intentional.

A Family-Run Business, Rooted in Gratitude

We are a family-run business, and everything we do is shaped by that reality.

We understand what it means to welcome a living animal into your home — because we’ve done it ourselves, over and over again. We also understand that when someone chooses one of our snakes, they’re trusting us with something meaningful.

That trust is never taken lightly.

We’re deeply grateful to the reptile community that has supported us for nearly a decade as business owners — and for much longer as keepers. From first-time snake owners to seasoned collectors, every customer is part of our story.

As we continue to grow, our values remain the same:

  • Experience over hype
  • Quality over quantity
  • Care over convenience

We regularly add new ball pythons to our collection and are always evolving — but our foundation stays rooted in respect for the animals and the people who care for them.

If you’re here, we’re honored you’re considering us.

And if one of our snakes feels like it belongs with you — trust that feeling.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
We look forward to being part of yours.
