Get you a nice normal BRB and will be much happier in the long run.

I love my BRB. He is always very curious and loves to watch me as I move around the snake room. Im sure he is looking for a rat in my pocket but he for sure has the most personality of all my snakes.
Yeah, I appreciate it. I thought it would be cool to take him on as a pet, but that was before I knew WHAT he was eating and saw his records. At first it was just that he takes smaller prey than usual because he has a sensitive stomach. Then I asked what he ate, and it's mouse hoppers... He's getting maybe 12 grams of food a week. Just isn't right for his age. If it was a size down from normal, it wouldn't be a big deal. Then I saw all the regurges on his records... I assumed he regurged if he was fed prey that was too big, but I saw he has regurged several hoppers as well.

I can't find any information about hypo issues. I've exhausted all the google terms I could think of. I don't think this breeder is trying to pull one over on me, I don't get that vibe... but I think he has been misinformed by somebody else. If this was a known issue I feel like I could find evidence of it online but I just can't. He's a well known BRB breeder too, so I don't think he's trying to play games. He offered me other animals, this male just had my interest because he'd be a pet only and I really don't like the idea of somebody trying to breed him.

I think I'll look elsewhere, but if this is a true issue I am interested in learning about it, if anyone else has any input!
