Every person here will have a different answer- get what YOU like. The snake is going to live 20-30 YEARS...

Think about what that means. It means the purchase price even if in the low thousands will be less that the cost of life time care.

Ideally, if you're looking to have just a few, go somewhere where you can see the snake in person. Paint jobs are cool, but right now there is only ONE snake in our collection that's not for sale.

He's our 1st BP & a normal patterned guy... and he's affectionate to my guy & me beyond measure. Anyone who tells you these guys don't have much personality have been around enough of them.

So save up, get what you like & both you and your little snakey will be happy.
