Thanks so much for all of the info! I have decided wait until after the expo and when I have learned a bit more about the various species. Right now I am leaning towards BPs and Hognoses, but I am going to also talk to my vet and do more research online about potential problems with the snakes and how to handle/avoid them. I also might pick up some books either online or at the expo. I will continue to update depending on what I decide on!
