I waited 20 year's (had to get divorced first) before I got my BP.

Now all I gotta do is wait for the youngest son to move out (this year after he graduates) and i'm going to turn his room into a herp room and add to my BP collection.

Though my BP was between 2 and 3 years old when I got him, I would deffinetly go with a younger one if I was you. That's what I will do when I start adding to the collection.

The reason I purchased Monty Joe instead of a youngster is that I got him, 20 gallon tank with locking lid, water dish, 1 hide, 2 heat pad's and 16 quarts of reptibark for $100.00. Just couldnt pass that up.
