New BP owner from Richmond VA

I just decided one day last week that I wanted a snake, after about 2 hours of searching Craigslist I found my first addition to a collection that will grow substantially over the next few months to prepare for the 11-12 season.

He's a little over 3 foot and I couldn't be more happy about having him. He currently lives in a 40 breeder and ill be converting the space into a rack system here pretty soon. I've been into reef tanks for years and I recognize hobbys that can paralyze auxiliary cash flow, it seems as if I've stumbled accross another one :) If there's anyone in the central Virginia area with morphs or a normal female available please let me know because I've got the itch to expand, lol!

Welcome and yes you definitely found another hobby that destroys wallets :O but can also help make money in the long run not to mention the joy of owning snakes period. :D

Welcome to BP.net :colbert2: They're quite a few members in Va.

Welcome!
Careful to quarantine new animals while you expand your collection, too many horror stories out there of entire collections being wiped out by adding a snake to the rack without going through a quarantine.

Welcome to BP.net :salute: Any questions you may have please feel free to ask!!

:welcome:

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. I do have lots of questions but I'm utilizing the search function quite a bit and finding that most if not all of my ?'s have already been answered.

I'm really digging around for a breeder local to me so that I can see first hand how the whole operation is set up and of course get my wallet drained. I have 3 kids so its hard to find time to travel to any of the shows remotely close to central va, but I will make it to one someday...
