I have an opportunity to get a whole bunch of bp's from a not-so-reputable source. The snakes would be captive hatched or farmed at best, however I would be able to get them for free.

It is likely that many of the snakes I receive would be in ill health, but I have the means to quarantine them from my current snakes (seperate building), and I think the opportunity to learn first hand about snake ailments would be helpful.

Though I am just learning, I'm sure I can provide for the snakes better than what they are currently receiving.

Would I be crazy to recieve snakes from such a source? Are the vet bills going to be insane? The learning opportunity and the chance to help the snakes is worth something to me, but I want to be careful not to get in way over my head.

Any thoughts?
