I've got my BP from a pet store and to tell you the truth I didn't know much about them. I've handled my cousin's 5 foot BP and watched him take care of it threw the years.

I 1st wanted a Iguana but the guy at the pet I went to would not sell it to me cause I didn't to research I understood but he just was rude about it and didn't seem like he knew to much about them either. So I left that pet store and drove another 20 miles to another one too see what they had there. I looked around and seen what I wanted more then a snake. I got her that same day and as soon as I got home I got her cage all ready and set up for her and I left her alone for a few days due to the new enviroment (Common Sense). But anyhow after she was all settled in I began to search the net for fourms so I could read all I could about BP I was up all night reading because I didn't want anything to happen to my snake.

Most of the people that are looking really intrested in them im sure will do there research and I do see where you are coming from. I'd do the same thing. But I knew I was going to do my homework as soon as I got home. I've had my snake for 2 months now and she is doing great. Eating both alive and frozen adult mice.

But to tell you the truth any Reptile is hard to take care of. You will spend more time keeping up with them more then you would a Dog or cat. It was Something I knew I'd be dedicated to and I am.
