Late summer is a great time to buy an new baby BP. You should have a good selection, as many will be well started and ready to go to a new home at that time.

Keep an eye out for local reptile shows, and go to some before you're ready to buy. It's a great way to make contact with your local breeders and see what types of BPs they usually breed (morph wise), and let them know what you're interested in.
