I'm sorry I can't add much in the way of help (I've only had Milton for a month and half!), but I just wanted to tell you how nice it is to see someone so concerned with taking good care of their BP.
I have no choice but to get my mice from Pet Warehouse, and today I was trying to talk to the manager about carrying some things that you really need for a good setup. She wasn't really even listening, and said "Well, that's what our vendors carry." I just think if they're going to sell BPs (or any other reptile) that they should sell, or at least KNOW, what the animal needs.
Keep up your research (this is the best site on the internet for BP questions!), and your BP is going to be lucky to have you as its companion!
