Yeah but at one point in time in the lineage of a captive-bred bp, the mother was "stolen" from the wild, or else we would never be able to keep them as pets. If you want to keep a snake, which is a "wild" animal, I don't understand why this bothers you so much.

If I were you I'd go with a CB or CH baby online, from one of the breeders suggested. As for the setup, if you purchase one from one of those stores, chances are after doing some reading after the fact, you will want to change it. Read some threads on housing in plastic tubs, which are MUCH easier to maintain IMO.
