The funny thing is that we were going to another pet shop (I know your in TN so I hope you know where im talking about) in Sevierville and then our plans changed so we ended going to that pet shop in Knoxville and we got her, so I guess it was ment to be:P:D:banana:

I'm in Memphis, so I'm on the opposite side (just about as far as we can get but still in the same state ;) ) It sounds like you really lucked out on her. Make sure you quarantine. I am ultra paranoid about bringing any new snakes into the house for that reason. You'll have to update us, on how she's doing, once she settles in.

Just wondering (as you know I'm still relatively new to BPs and only have an 8 month old baby but I want to learn more) but why a hook for BPs? Our reptile guy personally keeps all kinds of venomous snakes (cobras) and he uses a hook for those when feeding.

Yeah thats what i was thinking.....

I only use a hook for the new snakes I bring in, I like to use a hook until they get used to me handleing them and so that I can get a feel for the way they act while being handled. When I see they are fine with it then I stop useing a hook.
