I think I will go with a tub to get him some security if nothing else for the time being. Again, thanks fir the help and for calming my nerves. I am definitely going to be sticking around here learning and sharing as much as I can....
    Oh and I'll try to get some pics up this weekend! Thanks guys...
    One last question, just to try to gauge the situation of the previous 'owner'. What IS an average cost of feeding an adult male BP?
    Very cheap. REALLY.

    I mean - even if you don't go the frozen route (cheaper)... you can get an appropriate rat at the reptile shop for about $3.99. Multiply that by 4 weeks in a month and you're out about $16 per month to feed a bp the expensive way.

    My dog costs a lot more than that.

    BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.
    0.1.0 pastel bp
    1.0.0 spider bp
    0.1.0 albino bp
    1.0.0 bumblebee bp
    1.0.0 yellowbelly bp
    0.0.1 normal bp
    1.0.0 normal western hognose


    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
