I got the fever a few months ago and it wouldnt go away. So I did my research and eagerly waited for the day I could get my BP. I live in nyc so I had to travel out of the city up to whiteplains but fortunately most of my research generally said it was best to buy directly from knowledgable breeders anyway. The reptile expo was on Sunday. It was not anything like I imagined..Thousands of snakes everywhere!! I was so used to seeing them housed in tanks like in pet stores that I was a bit shocked to see stacks of snakes in small plastic containers. Freakin amazing!!

I took home a healthy looking normal female that was extremely inquisitive and not the least bit frightened. I was worried on tuesday when I handled her for the first time because there was a bit of moisture around her mouth and she rubbed her nose against my hand. Thought she had a RI. Yesterday however she was drinking out of her water bowl and proceeded to rub her face against a rock like she was doing to my hand..

Went to the pet store and got her a mouse b/c the breeders said they fed their snakes every wednesday. Put her in a feeding tub, knocked the mouse on the head and dropped it in. She struck it in under 30 seconds! I think shes happy and healthy. Im extremely pleased..

Do you guys think the moisture is something to worry about? I couldn't see any moisture today and I think it was just from her drinking. No bubbles around the mouth..

Let me know what you guys think. I'm so happy she ate! Sick BPs dont eat do they?
