I'm waiting until February because right now I'm on winter break from school. I want to do a few things before I bring him home:

1. Make sure his enclosure is set up and heated up properly, tested out for about a week once I'm back to make sure everything is running properly in that department.

2. I didn't want to bring him here immediately, let him settle in for two weeks then move him back to school, where he'd have to re-adjust again. I don't want to stress the little guy out more than need be :)

Just curious...why the delay until Feb for pickup of your new baby?

I have never bought a snake before so I don't know how it's done :oops:

thanks for the reply!
That sounds very wise. I am testing my enclosure/setup now and hope to go over to NERD next weekend or the following....
It sounds like if I am ready I can just bring one home same day :carrot:

here's a question for you: should I try to make an appointment to see the breeding facility and stuff while I am there? I have been to the store a few times and seen their retail reptile room but have never been 'backstage'

Drop Kara (KLG here on BP.net) a PM. She and Kev are the head hanchos at NERD. Kara should be able to tell you about a good time to come and get a tour of the "backstage" facility, I'm willing to wager :) She's a sweetheart and was (and is) a HUGE help to me in my learning process.

NERD is a really awesome facility and they have an extraordinary collection--so I'd definitely go see it at some point, even if you choose to wait until after you pick up your BP.

As far as I know, you could bring your baby home the very day you pick him out. :) But again, I'd drop a line at Kara for details about their policies and stuff.
