1. I wanted my first bp because they seemed easy to keep, looked freakin' awesome, and were calm and docile for the most part. Perfect for the kind of snake I needed.
2. My first real exposure to a bp was when I saw one at a place called Raven Hill Discovery Center. After that I held one a few times in a pet store.
3. If I had to redo the expiernce I would be sure to not want to buy one just because it's there. I mean I wanted the ones I saw at the petstore even though they weren't to healthy simply becuase I was in love with the idea of getting one. Be patient and look carefully for the right snake.
4. The impact of the internet was HUGE for me. I mean this very site provided me with everything I needed to know and all the advice I needed.
