If you don't mind me asking, what part of California do you live in? The town I live in has a place called "The Serpentarium" I got my snake from there and most of my other supplies. Some of their employees, particularly a young kid, don't know what they're talking about. He told me that a half log and a 20g tank would be good for a baby BP. I wasted about $150 there, so if you're getting your info from there, you might want to think twice.
