Just looking up care on BPs as a younger teen! As a kid I ran around and caught garters, but I never thought to keep them as pets, just temporary captives while I fed them frogs I met a friend of a friend who kept a couple of BPs when I was a sophomore in high school (Had 2 in a tank, fed in a separate container, and she thinks morphs are the devil. We just agree to disagree on the last point and the first two are just her choices She's got healthy animals). I fell in love with them, very calm very undemanding pets, and after I waited 3 years to graduate and move out, then move out of the second place I bought my first snakes Now I want 50 different species (to start)
