Alk...whereabouts are you located? You can look for a local herp show/expo to come near your area and that would be an excellent place to buy a bp. You get to hand-pick the one you want...talk extensively with the breeder about your choices...and NO shipping charges. Even if you have to drive a couple hours to get to one...it'd be worth it. Not to mention the enjoyment of seeing a huge variety of awesome herps up close and personal.
