I got Pauliocho from a PetCo. His owner couldn't care for him any more. So My bf and I were looking at fish originally, and the guy kinda directed us over to the bp. Lowdown is, we got the snake for free, and only paind about 100 bucks for his setup, we got an awsome discount, and a wonderful snake. I think it varies from store to store though, I went to a diff PetCo, and their animals all looked crappy, even though they had a clutch of about 18 bp babys. I wanted to take them home and treat them right.
