Okay.. the 29 gallon (if it really is that) is to big. Sad 'cause it's the best priced one so far I've found.

I really don't want to do the tub way.. I'd like others to see the python and if I see him, I'm more likely to handle him and such. A tub sounds more like 'out of sight out of mind.'

The rescue lady says they were a bit thin when they came in, but they're eating f/t just fine now.

I cannot find a breeder nearby (I'm in Houston) that's good... and not out to get a few thousand off a pretty morph. I also don't want to get ones from petshops, even if there is a reptile-only shop here. I went and was completely turned off by them selling kittens (mamma cat was next to the cage), and 2 baby rabbits on Cedar bedding.

I've cared for a BP a few years ago. My boyfriend's sister has one, and when she was in the college dorm, my best friend and I cared for it at our apartment. It's just that that one came with all the required things to care for him. This one I hafta start a-new!
