Idk, thats tough. Im attached to my normal (i think female but could be male lol) and never plan to get rid of her but thats because she/he was my first snake. She's also a great eater though. I can see how him being a mouser is a pain. Since he was your second, not first, bp maybe there's not *as* much of an attachment? If you trust that your friend will find a good home for him then i say go for it and get the bci you want.
