I'm getting into a much larger place soon and I want to get a larger snake to display and also one that is more interactive than a BP. Don't get me wrong, I love BPs and am for sure getting at least 3-4 morphs soon too but as a pet I hear BCIs are much better since they don't sit in their hides all day. What I would like to do is get a nice inexpensive female that is het for something(probably albino) in case I ever DO want to breed them but she'll be a pet first and foremost.
I've read the care sheets, housing requirements and all that and am confident I won't have any problems caring for one and I definitely want to raise one up from a hatchling. I love the way BCIs look and if everything I keep hearing is true I'm sure I'd enjoy having one immensly. I just want to make sure I'm not looking at this through rose colored glasses or anything. Plus it would be really cool when someone comes over to pull a 9 foot girl out of her tank and be like "here's my little girl!". Would not want a 17 ft. retic or burm though lol...
