Which kind of in and of itself a problem, that BPs are just absolutely everywhere as I've pointed out in the past. They outnumber nearly any other species available 10 to 1, to the point where many people outright aren't aware of other species because BPs take up so much advertising space. Go to any given show and they take up half the vendor tables for example.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Both of you point to one of the problems with pets that become too "available" & seen everywhere- after a while, no matter how beautiful & appealing they may be, many people crave something "else"- something more unique, something other than what "everyone else has". In fact that's one of the secrets of avoiding "impulse buys" is to force a "cooling off" period; sometimes you find another option, or just find you don't need "one of those" at all. I'm a lover of variety myself- I've always thought BPs are beautiful, but they're just not my thing, & I say that after having had some many years ago. There's a lot more to snakes than just their appearance, & it honestly makes me sad that so many cool snakes are overlooked because BPs are just about the only snakes that people see & hear about.
