Pre-beginner question: where to buy?

Another thing to think about, there is usually a cherity auction for USARK on saturday evening of that show! The auction contains animals, equipment and dry goods that are donated by the vendors of the show. The public is welcome to the auction and you can get some unbeleivable deals sometimes! BP morphs are donated to the auction quite a bit!

Ha ha ha, TFpets, good point, I can always get a second snake there!! But seriously, thanks for the useful info in both posts. I'll look for you in SJ in July!

SF Bay Area here too! ^_^

I personally like expos for buying better...plus sometimes yiu can get them to lower the price a tiny bit if its towards the end of the show lol

Fidget, Welcome to BP.net!

You are certainly asking the right questions and getting some great advice! You're well on your way to being a great snake keeper. Good luck in finding your BP....well, your first one anyway. BPs are just like potato chips...nobody ever stops at just one chip ;)

Wow, so great to get so much good info from all of you. thanks, thanks, and thanks. I know, it's gotta be better to meet your 1st bp in person, right? It's just hard to wait it out for baby season! But...more time to work on his/her home.

Hi, Daly City! Glad to know I've got a neighbor right across the bridge - I'm in Oakland.

Pics to follow when i get my 1st....and 2nd... :D

I'm in Orinda! That's just 5 minutes from Oakland through the tunnel.

(Well, I'm in Orinda sometimes. I'm in Davis most of the time for University)

I'll be heading thru the tunnel on Sat. - I'll wave while passing the Orinda exits!:P

I got my first and only two ball pythons at a local expo and couldn't be happier. There is a downside though - sorta.... You get to see some of the most gorgeous snakes in the world and realize that many of them cost as much as a car...
