I am buying a BP soon. A local pet store (looks clean, owner has lots of experience) has a very docile/curious female yearling ($85) and gets babies frequently. I also have seen a great deal available from reputable breeders over the internet. Is there a great advantage to buying a baby? The yearling seems temperamentally perfect and is a looker. The store owner has a great deal of experience. I am a bit nervous about snakes -through-the-mail sight unseen, but perhaps I'm overworrying. You know what they say, ..."a snake in the hand..." I want to buy the best snake I can, so am interested in your thoughts.
