And to get back on topic. I bring males to a pet store by me one at a time so they don't stack them in the same tank. This way some little kid like I was can have his first bp and the snake gets a good home with a youthful, enthusiastic keeper. I'm a firm believer that a snake is GREAT pet for kids esp male bp's. Mostly because they require less day to day care than say a hamster. But maybe thats just me.... Eternal if I were you I'd start looking to grab a female or two. If you decide you don't want to breed your normal later, you can always find adult males for sale. He'll be useful for breeding as well as being you for fun snake. Use him to make the younger males jealous and it'll push them to breed, male-male combat and "sperm-swapping". Have fun!
