Yes my very first bp died the other day, I have no idea why. I bought him from petsmart when i got him he was about a foot long when he died he was 2 ft long. i fed him once a month like petsmart said. had to feed him live he would not eat frozen. Petsmart also said I could use sand or pine shavings so I did. When he died I did some research, apparently they cant have sand or pine. Was wondering if there was anything else I needed to know before I got another one. And where I might could get one
