I went to a local reptile rescue to look for a pet snake. I ended up being helped by the Owner/Founder. He did not have any adoptable BP's when I was there, but he had a solution. He told me he worked at Petsmart and they had a Ball Python there that they let the kids hold. I got to Petsmart and was pleasantly surprised that all the snakes were well taken care of and well fed. He was very helpful and understood snakes.
