Hi everyone,

I have been researching snakes for months now and am very interested in bp's I have a leopard gecko that i adore but would like to add another to my "family" ..... speaking of family thats why i didn't get a snake in the first place....no matter i don't live there anymore!

first off, i know that bp's, like most reptiles, like a quiet enviroment. I live in a studio apartment so i don't have a sperate quiet room to keep one in. our place is pretty calm, the most noise would be from the computers, when watching movies/playing games etc. do you think this would disturb them? obviously we keep the volume down to a reasonable rate but still......

second thing is, i live kinda in the middle of nowhere and snakes are not readily avaliable. I have found 2 pet stores that have bp's (both hours from where i live) - Iam not impressed with the way they keep them and iam pretty sure they are not captive bred (although i've never asked) I am going to the states in 2 weeks and was wondering if it would be ok to purchase a snake there and bring it home with me? do they travel ok in the car? i would have it in a secure carrier with someting to hide in as well as a heat pack to keep warm as well as making water avaliable overnight/during stops. does this sound like a reasonable plan? the last thing i would want to do is stress the animal beyond reason or endanger it's health/well being.

sorry if this isn't in the right place for this topic

thanks everyone <3
