Bogertophis, I'm not getting my snake from that store. I was so close to pulling out my wallet that having that mite drop on my palm was no coincidence. You're warning me against it, my gut is warning me against it, and the Universe itself is warning me against it. I'm hard-headed, but even I'm not that dense.
Looking for more breeders, I noticed one fairly local to me with many reviews on MorphMarket, all positive, who I previously overlooked because the few snakes of his I saw on MM were way out of my price range. Not only does he have a few within my budget listed on MM, but he also has unlisted ones. We spoke on the phone, he sent me tons of pics of his collection to figure out what I liked, and we narrowed it down to two awesome snakes. I'm going to see them on Friday and if it all goes well, bring one home.
Homebody, I definitely plan to upgrade my enclosure. I started with the bin just to see if I could set up an appropriate enclosure for a snake before I bought one. Once I have my snake, my plan is to build a PVC enclosure myself. It's not cheaper than buying one, but I would be doing it for the fun. I already started planning how I would build it and researching the materials I would need. I thought plywood wouldn't work because of the humidity, warping and mold issues, but if you made yours out of plywood, I'd love to read about your build.
