Ramble? No man, I love that stuff!

I think the reason why this snake has disappeared in the hobby, is because it was imported in great numbers and dumped on the market for very low prices. It got the image of just another cheap and common asian import snake, therefore the species was ignored by most 'advanced' hobbyists, and most specimens must have died in the hands of absolute beginners. If it were imported in very limited numbers and sold for very high prices, history would have been very different.

Take care,

Herman.
