Services & Process

As a dedicated python breeder, Slither Sity Pythons focuses on producing healthy, well-started animals rather than offering the wide species variety of a general reptile shop. Buying from a breeder typically means you can ask detailed questions about a specific animal's lineage, feeding history, and any genetic traits it carries. Many breeders in this category also carry or recommend specific enclosure setups, substrate, and feeding supplies suited to the species they work with. Calling (415) 815-8980 is the best way to find out what morphs or animals are currently available and whether any upcoming clutches are worth waiting for.

Service Area

Slither Sity Pythons operates out of San Leandro, putting it within easy reach of Oakland, Hayward, Alameda, and Castro Valley. East Bay reptile enthusiasts looking to buy directly from a local breeder rather than a shop or online wholesaler will find the location convenient from most parts of Alameda County.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between buying a python from a breeder versus a pet shop?
When you buy from a breeder, you can typically get the full history of the animal, including what it's been eating, how many times it's fed successfully, and what morph genetics it carries. Pet shops often can't provide that level of detail, especially on animals that came from wholesalers.
What python morphs does Slither Sity Pythons typically produce?
Morph availability changes based on what's currently hatching, so calling (415) 815-8980 directly is the most reliable way to find out what's available. Ball python morphs vary widely in pattern, color, and price, so having that conversation early helps you set realistic expectations.
How do I know a python from a breeder is eating consistently before I buy it?
A reputable breeder will be able to tell you exactly how many consecutive feedings the animal has taken and on what prey item. Don't hesitate to ask for that feeding record before committing, since a new owner inheriting a feeding problem is a frustrating situation that's easy to avoid.
Can I place a deposit on a hatchling that isn't ready yet?
Many breeders accept deposits to hold animals from upcoming clutches, especially for specific morphs that generate high interest. Ask about the deposit policy and what conditions, if any, allow for a refund if the hatchling doesn't thrive before pickup.
What enclosure setup do I need before bringing home a ball python?
At minimum, you'll want a secure enclosure with a warm side around 88 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit, a cool side around 76 to 80 degrees, at least two hides, and a thermostat to regulate your heat source. Having this stable and tested before your pickup date makes the animal's transition significantly smoother.
Is buying from a local breeder in San Leandro better than ordering online?
Buying locally means you can see and handle the animal before committing, which tells you a lot about its temperament and condition that photos can't capture. It also eliminates the stress of shipping, which can be hard on young pythons and adds logistical complexity for buyers.
