My first bp came from petco it was 2 summers ago. I didn't know anything about snakes, all I knew was that i wanted one. They had them half off at the time it was 40 bucks for a bp, I basically jumped on it. I had him for about a month and literally nothing went right, he never ate, well he ate one time the second week I had him and he re-gurged it 2 hours later, he never ate again, and he died 3 weeks later. My temps were correct i made sure of that. There was no reason for him to die.
