About
Blue Rose Exotics specializes in quality captive bred ball pythons, recently expanding to include colubrids and geckos. We have over 20 years of experience on our team! We are genetic nerds, so every single pairing we do each year has a specific genetic outcome in mind. It's like painting with genetics! We are very passionate about our animals and keep records of hatch dates and parentage on our babies (in case you want to know who mom and dad are). All babies go home with their feed card (so you know their feed history) and our ball pythons go home with our ball python care sheet (we are working on them for other species). What sets us apart is our 20+ years of experience in the animal industry and our superb customer service! When you buy from us, your not just buying an animal you're gaining our lifelong support! We also offer enclosure starter kits for your new baby. Come check us out for yourself and see why Blue Rose Exotics is the place to get your next reptile!

SHIPPING
WE DO NOT SHIP ANY ANIMAL WITHOUT FULL PAYMENT ON THE ANIMAL PURCHASE PLUS THE SHIPPING FEE - NO EXCEPTIONS
We do not ship internationally at this time so shipping is restricted to the US only.
Shipping is done through FedEx Priority Overnight guaranteed live arrival via Ship Your Reptiles or another reptile shipping company of our choosing. We will only ship Tues-Wed & only weather permitting (see temp guidelines below). We will ONLY ship to a FedEx hub - NO EXCEPTIONS! It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify & provide the correct address for the FedEx hub they want to pick up at. We are not responsible for shipping to the wrong hub if you provide the wrong address. We do not ship on holidays, nor do we ship the day after a holiday due to the increased number of shipments FedEx handles.
Please note we follow the temperature guidelines set forth by Ship Your Reptiles.
Below 38°F: WE DO NOT SHIP. Wait for warmer weather.
38-69°F: Use a heat pack per our directions.
70-91°F: DO NOT use a heat pack.
Over 91°F WE DO NOT SHIP Wait for cooler weather.
We follow these temperature guidelines at the point of departure and arrival!
We have the right to delay any shipment if we feel it is unsafe for any reason. The health & well being of our animals is more important to us. If your shipment is delayed by us awaiting safer shipping conditions, there is no charge to you. We ask you to please be patient. We want your baby to arrive healthy and ready for lots of love!
LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE is ONLY valid if the animal is shipped directly to a FedEx hub and is picked up within 2 hours of arrival to the hub (per FedEx timestamp). We highly suggest opening your shipment immediately. Any DOA must be reported within 30 minutes of pick up (per FedEx timestamp) & be accompanied by photo and/or video evidence. Any other health issues must be reported within 24 hours of arrival. We guarantee that your baby will arrive alive & healthy & that it was eating live for us prior to leaving (We will always let you know what your animal was currently eating for us. While many of our snakes will accept a frozen/thawed meal, we never guarantee a snake will continue to eat frozen/thawed as there are too many factors involved). We cannot guarantee past the initial 24 hours as we are no longer in control of the environment/enclosure or conditions in which the animal is kept. If you have any questions about proper enclosures or husbandry please reach out to us, we’re always happy to help! We can also email you our care sheet which helps answer a lot of the basic questions about bringing home your snake. If there are any concerns about your animal we must be notified within 24 hours. We want you to be happy with your purchase but we can’t help you if we don’t know. We pride ourselves on our customer service before, during & after the sale!
LOCAL PICK UP (OR AT A SHOW)
Want to avoid shipping charges? Pick up your new animal at one of the expos we attend throughout the midwest or locally in Rockford IL.
GENETICS/GENDER GUARANTEE
We guarantee the gender of any animal as listed male or female or it may be listed unsexed. Animals listed as unsexed have no gender guarantee.
Recessive Genes: We keep extensive records on our babies and keep track of parentage. If we list an animal as 100% het, then we guarantee it is 100% het. Any animal listed with a het less than 100% means that there is only a chance it is het & the genetic percentage will be listed.
Muti-Gene Codoms: We have many of experience identifying ball pythons genetics. We do our best to identify genes but when multiple genes are involved it is possible to misidentify genetics. We will always provide the genetics of the parents so you can make your own educated identification of genes. We will usually list the animal only for the genes we know for sure, so some animals may have more genes than listed, a bonus to you!
SPIDER COMPLEX
By purchasing any snake with a spider complex gene (not fully inclusive but including spider, champagne, hidden gene woma, etc), you agree that you are aware of possible “wobble”. Not all have wobble & any snake with a spider gene could develop a wobble later in life or the wobble could lessen & this is not a reason for a snake to be returned. Wobble is a genetic trait, not a health related behavior & has no bearing on the health of the snake.
FEEDING ISSUES
We will inform you of the current diet of the animal you purchase & we guarantee the animal was eating at the time of pick up/shipment. Once you receive the animal, we have no control over the environment/feeding methods you use, & cannot guarantee it will eat. Improper feeding methods, environments or feeding the wrong type/size of food can all cause an animal to not want to eat. We will, however, do our best to guide & advise you on what to do to get the animal to eat. We recommend that your 1st 4 meals offered are the same as what we offered to help in the adjustment & ensure a good transition to their new home. If your animal does not eat after 1 week of being in its new home it may still be adjusting. Limit your handling & wait a week and try to feed again. If the animal hasn’t eaten by the 2nd week please reach out so we can help you.
In conclusion:
Still not sure about purchasing an animal from us? There are a lot of scammers & we want to do all we can to make you feel comfortable in purchasing from us. You can come visit us in person at a local expo, just message us to see where we are next and meet us in person. Video chat with us so you can see who we are. Call & talk to us on the phone. We are also happy to provide references (vet and professional) upon request.
In 2024 we re-branded to be more inclusive of all of the exotic animals we raise. We created our new logo & name, Blue Rose Exotics, but we have been in the animal industry for over 20 years & hope to be here another 20 more. We look forward to helping you find your new companion or expand your breeding project with one of our quality captive bred animals.
Thank you for considering your next purchase from Blue Rose Exotics.
