Great to be back Zack. I think I saw a video or two of yours while I was narrowing down my search. It was nice to see something that wasn't "Hey man!!!! Watch my BLOOOOOOOOOOOD PYTHON eat this big azz rat, man! It rulez!" I never was into the whole snakes and sensationalism thing. That attitude is just bad for the hobby.

I had bloods and short tails before (1.1 brongs, 1.0 breit), so it was a pretty easy choice deciding what I wanted to focus on when I came back. I've loved retics since the first time I saw one in a book when I was still small enough to be eaten by one, but now that I'm divorced with no one around most of the time having a large constrictor poses a safety risk.

I always did love the way the STPs looked and moved with their fat little stubby bodies, it took me about five seconds to decide on them. I didn't get the chance to breed them before so I'm looking forward to it now.

In the past I've bred yellow and green anacondas (gotta love live bearers!), Sulawesi retics, copperheads (another personal favorite, just love these little guys), and a few other viperids and colubrids. I need to read up a bit more on the specific needs for the bloods now. I think I'm going to get a trio of these, a trio of Borneos, probably the marbles, and maybe some P curtus.

Wish me luck.
