Im just about ready to get a BP and of course i checked craigs list. I found a 3 year old male normal being sold with an Aquarium and Heating. Basically the entire setup the snakes been living in for its life. All for $45. Reason for selling is the owner is moving to an apartment and cant have animals. Its fed a live mouse every thursday. Owner has informed me that it drinks alot of water during shed. The owner has refused selling to other people but has accepted me as a buyer because of my farm/animal background even though its my first snake. Owner has told me the snake is very docile and has only struck when she first got the snake. Ever since then the snake has been quite tame. Does this sound like a good snake to have and start out with? Talking to the owner, the snake seems well kept but i havnt been able to see it yet.
