As the title implies, I have recently again been bitten by the bug to enlarge my reptile collection. Of all the animals I've kept, I've grown increasingly enamored with my snakes. Currently, as my signature shows, I've got a Ball Python, a BRB, a Sand Boa, and a Corn.
Now, as I've gotten more comfortable with keeping snakes, I've decided to "go bigger." First, I started researching into BCIs, but their adult length has me apprehensive because I don't think I can fit a custom enclosure big enough for one. This thought eventually led me to Blood Pythons due to their heavy bodied but still relatively short lengths. (Adult sized enclosure would probably end up being an Animal Plastics T8 [48Lx24Dx12H]). EDIT: I'd be keeping it in appropriately sized tubs as it grows. Won't be putting a baby snake directly into a 4'x2' tank!
So my question for you guys is this. Where do you get your Bloods from? I've been scouring Kingsnake Classifieds and found what SEEMED to be some good deals, but I'm not entirely sure.

This ad in particular caught my eye. Does anyone have experience with First Choice Reptiles?
