There are a lot of pretty bp morphs to be had for $200-$250 in this market right now, so you won't be at a loss for a nice looking snake. If personality and "snuggle factor" is more important though, I would suggest hitting up a reptile expo when one rolls into town. You get to see the snakes in person, handle them to see how they take to human interaction (bps tend to be pretty chill as far as snakes go, but every snake is an individual), and if you find one you just can't live without, you don't have to worry about shipping!
