First time buying a snake?

[LadyWraith]

I also agree with Starbuck on doing your husbandry research ahead of time. Get your entire enclosure set up and running before purchasing any animal. I also feel the incorrect product sell is the general issue with petstore buying. However, I would never touch a CL acquisition as my first snake. IMO that is a venture for the more experienced keeper. You defintely don't want your first keeping experience to be trying to fix a possibly sick animal.
