Can Anyone Help??
Hey guys I am calling on the bp community to possibly help a friend of mine out. You see he is kinda new to the bp world and is having some problems with some snakes he has eating f/t and there isn't any place that he knows of that he can get live. Anyone on bp in the bloomington, Illinois area???

Depending on how far your friend is willing to drive to meet, I'm in Joliet and have plenty of extras in various sizes. Not sure I'd want to drive much further than coal city or Dwight. If your friend is willing to set up a tank or tub for them it may be worth it to get more than just a couple. PM me if you want to talk.

Re: Can Anyone Help??
As far as I know, petco and petsmart are practically everywhere. Petsmart doesn't knowingly sell mice as snake food, but petco does and will be slightly cheaper than petsmart. It's way more expensive than it could be, but if he really needs live, then he might sooner pay $5 for a mouse at a chain pet store than drive for hours to get one cheaper. If he's willing to blow some cash on it upfront, he might consider getting a few females and a male to start up his own colony (petco sells males, but not petsmart). Also, keep in mind that it's February and bp's often go off the feed during this time of year. The snake might just be on an eating strike.
