    Re: BP waiting period...??

    My plan was to get my son one and that's it. I ordered his but it was a hatchling and had to grow a bit. By the time it was ready to ship, I had decided to get one for myself and had put down a deposit for him. We ended up getting them 4 days apart. Now I am looking at more, but I don't have the housing, so until that happens, two is where we'll stay. According to my wife, two is where we'll stay until my son moves out and then we'll have one!

    You just wait till you find another one you really want.
    Just make sure you have a place to do a proper QT of at least 3 to 6 months.

    A friend wanted to get rid of her boyfriends snakes (when he would decide to accept) but never got to it. After that another friend asked me to babysit her BP since she could not keep it at her parents home during the holidays. Few months later and I got my own little one and a little over a month later I got a second one. Now I'm just waiting to hear about first friend about her bf's snakes and the second friend to babysit during the holidays again~ !
    Fall 2015 :
    "I'll only get one" I said, cuddling a bp hatchling "See how it goes"
    Two months later :
    2 adults, 2 juveniles and 1 bci.
    "Oops"
    Next month :
    Conquering the world

    One of the benefits of QT is it forces me to be very choosy about the snakes I take in, since I can get at most four per year.

    Re: BP waiting period...??

    My waiting period was about 2.5 years...Then I exploded!! lol

    Chaos was my first normal bp found him for $40 dollars at a pet store (didn't know better then) I had\have a corn snake for 7 years before that (10 years now) Early this year I went to an expo and grabbed number 2 which is my Ghost Pastel. I liked the breeder so much I looked him up and found he auctions off some his animals periodically...that is when it went bad or good depends on how you look at it . Now this year alone I have added a total of 16 Bps to my collection and built a rack lol! Be careful it can get pretty addicting.
