Talk about some fast replys!

Well, I just took a ride to a local PJ's Pets just to test the waters. They have a sale "yeah, my red flag went up too" on baby bp's for $89 marked down from $100. It says they are "CB" which I assume means captive bred and are currently eating live. The woman there did seem to know her stuff and spent some time talking with me. She quoted me a price of between $250-$300 for an entire setup which includes an enclosed 20g long tank, thermometer, heat pad, lamp and the snake. I would prefer to keep the snake in a visible enclosure as apposed to a tub just so I can look at him/her without having to disturb the snake.

Is it a big risk going with a baby as apposed to slightly older snake? She said they are about 3 months old and around 1' long. I did not get a chance to see the snakes due to the fact they were all underneath what appeared to be artificial grass.

Is anyone from here going to the show in N.H mentioned above? If so I would love to go and possibly talk to a few of you in person.

The breeded mentioned above, is their a website I could go to? I am not worried about $, I just want to be sure to get a healthy/friendly snake. Like somebody said, this is a long term relationship and I just want it to be as engoyable as possible. I had no idea we had local breeders here so I was thinking I would have to buy from a petstore which is almost always a risk regardless of what type of animal your purchasing.

Thanks so much for all the help, keep the feedback coming, i'm sucking it all in.
