    Both my snakes came from breeders. If I ever saw an animal I wanted in a petstore, I might get it. For now, though, I like what I get from breeders. I've never been to a show. Maybe someday!

    Re: Where did you purchase your first BP....breeder or pet store?
    I got both of my BP's from both a pet store and a breeder... lol

    I bought them both from Ben Siegel's brick and mortar in South Florida. They were extremely helpful when I bought the first one. Even going so far as to do everything they could to make my girlfriend, who wasn't a fan of snakes, comfortable with them prior to leaving. She now loves the snakes and will pull them out and hold them.

    They are a 45 min drive for me but the customer service and animals are worth the drive for me.

    Mine is coming from a breeder as the local PetCo charges $90 for a normal (which i was willing to pay as I want a python very badly) and they are all very sickly and have mites...=[[[[
    My snake is coming from RobinsReptiles but I originally saw him with the WildMorphs.com guys at a W.A.R.E. show.

    Got my ball as an unexpected birthday gift from a pet store...he had mites, but was otherwise healthy and a good feeder/good personality. I'll likely get future balls from a good breeder, but hey my parents didn't know any better :P

    Oh...and for a normal, he was pricey...around $100 I believe. Ouch.

    Charlie And Lucy
    Our first BP came from PetCo. His name is Charlie, and he is the most tame snake we have.

    Our second is Lucy, she is our little snot. She has an attitude problem, but when my husband picks her up, she calms right down.

    Superman, our pastel, came from a breeder.

    Our boa came from Glades, and our Blood came from Rich Crowley.

    Foschi Exotic Serpents
    Got my first BP from what is widely known as a reputable reptile store. She was sick. The other one I bought at the same time died in a week. The store would not refund or replace him. I paid about $200.00 at the vet to save the other one which needed many shots, fluids, de wormer etc.

    I don't support that store because of this but I still have that first BP and she will be 8 years old this April.
