With a budget of $150, you should be able to find a young BP from any number of reputable breeders. I know it seems scary to contemplate having a snake shipped to you (I felt the exact same way when looking to buy my first snake)...but it works very, very well if you're buying from someone who knows what they are doing.Originally Posted by HelloSonya
$90 may seem like a good deal for a pet store snake (actually, that's quite expensive for what you'd get!) but they also come with a high risk of having health problems and eating issues...even if the look "fine." I'm not saying ALL pet store snakes will have issues, but the risks are significant.
Whereas, buying a normal from a trusted breeder, you're much much more likely to get a well established, healthy little eating machine.And $150 is plenty for that.
