    You really should check out prices for snakes that you like ahead of time...just to have a "ball-park" idea. "Pretty" is rather vague & if you don't have some
    goals in mind, a well-attended expo can feel overwhelming with all the choices. Psst! do watch out for snakes with mites! they get "shared" at expos!
    Personally, I'd not buy a snake with mites...they can carry diseases among snakes, so it's a health risk.

    More importantly, you want to bring with you a thick styro-foam box (or "cooler") to safely transport a new snake safely home. (+cloth bag & twist-tie to secure)

    Also...top priority...set up the cage for the snake ahead of time, & test it for a week to make sure the temps. & humidity are right. You want to minimize stress
    for an newly-bought snake that may come home with you.

    Many here look thru Morph Market, if you aren't already familiar with it. Lot's of high-end BPs for sale there, but you'll also be able to see what appeals to you.
    Bogertophis won't steer you wrong!

    I also saw that you previously had a snake with RI...make sure all of your equipment is disinfected before you bring home a new snake.
