yes, stick with CBB. A little more money but way better off in the end.

ya ill tell you first hand that it is a royal pain in the a**....im a first time owner of a snake or even reptile for that matter which makes it worse....but ya he is constantly sick and i have to constantly monitor his cage and him...iv had to take him to the vet to get meds for a respitory infection (slowly but surly getting better), and to top it all off! he hasn't eaten yet....im gona try again today or tomarrow....so the moral of the story is DON'T BUY WC! my next snake is definatly going to be from a breeder to avoid the stressful hasle iv endured with my first snake....hes awsome but he really just wasn't worth it....so even though i don't have alot of experience and what not def buy a CB because WC are just to hard esspecially for me since im a beginer...wish i did more research before i bough him! good luck with your snake!

A respiratory infection has nothing to do with a snake being WC, unless you received it ill, it is rather the direct cause of poor husbandry.

ya i knwo and its fixed now....but iv also read that they are more common in WC snakes.....and that wasn't the only point i was making....i also forgot to say i have removed like 6 or 7 ticks off of him which i didn't notice when i get him...but ya not worth it
