I'm glad you found this forum too...I only "recently" (2018) joined this forum myself, after another one faded away. I've had BPs in the past, but none currently-
(I feel your pain, lol). And members here are keeping all kinds anyway. I thought of joining the corn snake forum but just don't have time to be on more than one, so
here I am.
As much as your climate-controlled building sounds awesome, I personally enjoy keeping various snakes that can co-exist with me as far as temperatures go,
because I like to watch them, & they watch me back. I think snakes can get a lot more skittish when they don't see much of you. (Even when I had rattle-
snakes for many years, they shared the same rooms I lived in.) I'm all about helping my snakes feel at peace around me, & it has always paid off when I've
shared them for programs or "meet & greets" too. Snakes do best when they feel safe.
