Poll: How did you get your snake?

All of my captive bred snakes are from assorted breeders. But i have one female i got from pet land in brunswick maine, i love her very much she is super picky and i have no doubt she is straight from africa, but i cant get enough of her.

The stats seemed to be what I expected: a majority of you got yours from a breeder followed closely by those who get their's from a pet store.

Never mind. Now they're tied.

Most apply to me so I voted on how I got my first snake, which happened to be given to me.

I normally go through breeders unless I am at pet store and something really calls to me. Then I can't help it.

I said breeder BUT that is only because it is how I acquired the majority of my snakes. I have done so by every other method as well has yet another method. The final method is growing your own from an egg, ;). Many of my AHS are hold back animals,

I got my first BP from a petstore, and the other two were from breeders, one at an expo, one over the internet.

I hit other, because I got my first three from pet stores, and most of the rest from the breeders, some from reptile shows, some from the internet, and two from rescue.
So most of mine came from the breeders.

That or the majority.

Darn! I signed up too late so I missed the deadline! I don't have a snake yet but chances are I'll buy one from a pet store (does Boropark even have breeders?).

I currently have 5 BP’s and four were skinny, mite infested, wheezing rescues.
Don’t even ask about my other 17 snakes or the hundreds that have come through my doors in the last 16 years. :(
