Hi gang!

Former snake owner but lifetime snake lover

It's ts been a while since I've owned anything, but I have owned a couple red tails, an albino burmese Python, a Brazilian rainbow boa and a canebrake. Now I'm older (47) with an awesome 6 year old daughter that shares my affinity with this awesome creature. Her mama not so much lol. But it's important to pass along how great snakes are and how bad a rap they get. I have an agreement with all neighbor's to call me before ever harming a snake and I'll come get it with my snake hook and relocate for free. I usually take my daughter and we've recently relocated a large king snake and really large eastern rat snake. She loves em.

So I want to get another snake and have all but decided on a BP. So many gorgeous morphs but I think I just love the pieds. I doubt we will breed, etc just provide a great home to the BP for a long time. I've owned snakes before so I know snakes can be tempremental but I really need to find a gentle one to keep wife and little one from overreacting.

Repticon Atlanta is coming up and I'll be going. What should I look for in a small juvenile pied at a reptile show, characteristic-wise? I plan to have the habitat set up at least a week in advance. I also need to research more about feeding F/T. I haven't done that and my wife as a teacher is actually fond of rats and mice. Animal lovers we are I suppose. Not sure she is going to let me put frozen mice in freezer beside the salmon. Need to think about that.


Is it reasonable to think I can get a real good deal on a pied at repticon?

Thanks in advance
