I suppose some people have no options - but if they HAVE pets, why rent a place that doesn't allow any? I've moved over 15 times in the last 15 years, always with pets, and haven't ever left them behind (aside from a few fish). The first thing I ask when apartment-hunting is "do you allow pets?" and if the answer is no, I move on to the next. Maybe it's just me, but I consider them a part of my family... and if you have kids, would you rent a place that wasn't kid-friendly? Just sayin'. ;)

don't forget about the breeders that cant get any business on here or fauna or some other herp forum and post ads "rehoming" their pieds for a small fee of 1400 bucks!

Hope it's OK to post on older threads. Heck, I didn't even have a BP when this thread started, LOL!

We got ours via a CL ad. I'm also surprised at how many BPs are advertised, and at quite a range of prices. Turns out we could've gotten a free one had we waited a week or two, but I'm glad we have the one we have. He was thin and cold, didn't even have a name, and I couldn't walk out of there and leave him (her?) behind. All our animals have been rescues, and looking at the CL ads, I wish I could rescue more snakes. :(

But ours is turning out to be a happy CL story. I'd recommend CL. :)

I'm totally with you, Patricia. I check Craigslist daily for any snakes. It's mostly normal BPs and RTBs that come up; occasionally a burm or a colubrid of some sort. I'm planning a vacation this month, so there's no way I'm going to get any other snakes until Sept (due to an already-unhappy snake-sitter :P), but if I were to get another normal ball, I'd definitely get one off Craigslist.

The only thing is that there is a great chance that CL snakes have not been properly cared for and may require vet care. Always something to consider. :)
