I've always wanted a snake, and I think all snakes of all varieties have their own beauty and charm. BPs were just perfect for my current stage of life. Being in college, I don't have a lot of space and being a amateur keeper, I didn't want to jump into the larger snake arena. I also didn't want a corn snake, as they were fairly small and didn't get very girthy.
BPs attracted me because they're mellow, easy to care for, solid snakes. I've never regretted picking AurynI would LOVE to get a retic, but I just don't have the space or spare cash to care for a large, hungry snake
Retics are beautiful and maybe some day, I'll have one. But, for now, it's just Auryn and I...and maybe a Honey Bee some time in the future.
