I've always wanted a BP and am now looking into getting one. This site and it's people have been so very helpful but there is one major question I still haven't been able to find a clear answer on- would Pest Control hurt a BP?
I live out in the middle of nowhere and have to have Pest Control come spray every three months or the scorpions and centipedes, among other things, try and carry me away! I have it set up so that I can move all my animals to my mother's house for the day while everything is going on. They spray at 8am and I come back sometime after lunch to open all the windows and turn the fans on to air out the leftover fumes for an hour or two. I don't bring my animals back until after I can be in the closed house without getting a headache, which even the slightest fumes seem to give me.
Would this be ok for a BP, or not at all? If it is, would I need to change something about the way I do things? And would I have to take his/her cage out of the house as well, or would it be fine to leave it there?
If anyone has any experience with this, or has any incite, I'd sure appreciate it. I'd love to have one(or more) of these beautiful animals but if this risks their lives in to great a way I'd rather they live long and healthy somewhere else.
