I'll be honest- I don't enjoy snakes that go on unpredictable fasts, & another downside is that they need higher temps & humidity, plus they hide too much for my taste.

BPs have a lot going for them: they're pretty, & they stay a nice size, & they're docile. But so are MANY other kinds of snakes, like rat snakes, with much easier care &
outgoing personality to boot. I hate the idea of keeping snakes in tubs...I love glass tanks for visibility, so snakes that do well in them are my strong preference.

If you only have one snake, or several, it's not so bad when they fast, but when you have a large number of snakes (as I have for many years now) you just don't have
time for all the food-fuss you get from BPs. The BPs I had for years I ended up re-homing with good people who were into them...I just wasn't. They took too much
time from the all others that I have lots more fun with...snakes that don't need their rodents blow-dried. I'm patient, very patient, but my time was valuable (as in
"never enough of it"). And most other snakes are more resilient in terms of health too...they don't get R.I.'s easily, for example.
