What shall I get?

Now by normals, we are talking about your general run of the mill BP that you can find at any pet store, correct? That's the impression that I'm getting from my reading but just wanted to clarify.

Those would be "normals"
and is you can find a local breeder you should be able to get hatchlings for around $20 - $30 instead of $80+ the pet stores want.
