Ok, being in Puerto Rico may limit your options as far as breeders go. Thanks for clearing that up. And you're right, if he's willing to help get the snake transitioned to F/T it sounds like he's willing to go the extra mile. Have you already picked out the snake?
I like that you're sticking to your guns and going with a BP. The others have your best interest at heart when suggesting another species, but ultimately it's your animal your choice. And I promise, if you're prepared, you won't stress too much if you get a refusal or two.
It sounds to me like you're off to a great start. Keep doing all the homework you can, you can't be over prepared.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that you should definitely have the enclosure set up, running, with temps dialed in and humidity on point before bringing the snake home. Make sure all heating equipment is running properly, thermostat(s) are functioning properly, etc... I know that may make a surprise difficult, but it'll save you, your daughter and your new pet a LOT of stress.
Good luck! Feel free to ask all the questions you may have, we're happy to help. You can always PM me too, I'm happy to help.
