Our first BP was a male normal that a friend bought from a pet store. While he was an adult at the time, he was still living at home with his parents (he was just out of the military) and they said no way to having a snake under their roof. So, he gave us "Colt" the Python. We already had king snakes at the time.

We found out later that we had to change the name from "Colt" to "Collette".
