I've talked to a couple members on here about this. But the time for me to decide is now.
As you know I have a 29" BP (found out tonight that she was WC not CBB like they told me when I got her, which explains her eating issues), that I got from a local store. She had an RI when I got her, but that has been cleared up and she's doin well besides not eating. For being a WC she's extremely tame, never hissed at me, not at all head shy (lets me open her mouth with no fuss at all).
As some of you know, that same petstore has a BCI thats about 2 years old and about 4' long. Its been there for over 4 months and is in DESPERATE need of a TLC home, which I would more than provide. I just got back from that petstore, and this was the first time we were able to get the BCI outta the tank when I've been there. Its got one shed that was almost finished (a lil left on the tail) and it just started shedding again yesterday. The tank is way arid, and the temps are very poorly regulated. But givin its poor condition, once we (the petstore guy and myself) were able to get the BCI outta the tank (it wrapped around everythign it could) it was just as docial as my BP is and even let me hold its head close to listen for its breathing sounds... sounded good to me, no wheezing/popping. I also saw the snake eat a full sized rat (live) last week, so I know it eats.
The problem is my grandparents won't allow me to have two snakes, and while i love my BP I also feel a responsibilty as an animal lover to try to help this BCI. So my question is what would you guys do? I am sorta attached to my BP, but if someone would be willing to take her from me I would do it so that I could save/rescue that BCI. I've asked the other petstore in town (and the manager is makign phone calls now) to see if anyone wants to buy my BP, and I'm going to ask the one guy at work that has snakes on monday if he'd be interested in buying her. The BCI would only cost me an Eclipse Fish tank hood (just hood, no tank or stand) that i bought (tank/stand included) off a girl at work.
Thanks, btw I'm hoping to decide by monday at the latest for the BCI's sake, it needs a better home than that pet store.

P.S.- I've applied for a job there as their snake handler... even tho i'm not as experienced as others on here I care enough to do research and maintain proper temps/humidity in the tanks.
Thanks
