Need advice- new snake has RI

[Aaron_S]

Let's take this GTP as an example. You bought a "proven" breeder from someone for a cheap price. It seems it most likely has an URI. Now you've got to spend more money and time trying to nurse it back to health. Buying quality animals without these issues is how a GOOD breeder who wants a GOOD reputation starts. You can't produce quality animals if you don't start with quality animals.

It's good that you "love" all your animals but you need to really think about things when you bring a new animal into your collection. If you want to be a breeder you can't be bringing in sick animals as your breeding stock. I thought you ran a rescue as well?
