i got all 3 of my bp's from petco (i know i know) the first one cost me $89 and the last two cost me $20 a piece. they were on sale for the 4th of July.
they were also the cause of 'the great mite infestation of 08" my $20 female is going to cost me another $65 minimum tonight for the vet visit becuase she most likely has parasites and looks terrible. Since im taking her and her brother it will probably end up being $135 to see both not to mention the cost of medication and whatever the :cens0r: else they are going to charge me for. and i'll pay for it cause i love them. its not that i cant afford it but no one has a miscellaneous $200+ laying around. it could definitly go towards better things.
im not so sure if thats premium or not but next time, and i'm sure there will be a next time, i get a snake it will be from a reputable breeder.
