Hey everyone! Recently i have been very interested in Pits. Enough to want to possibly add one or two of them to my herp collection. I've been keeping kingsnakes, milksnakes, and a few other colubrids for the last 10 years. I've done quite a bit of research on caring for Pits, but i have no experience with them and haven't really talked to anyone who does. At this point I'm most interested in the Sonoran gopher and the Cape Baja gopher. Are there any noticable size differences between different pits? For those who keep these snakes, what differences standout between bull/gopher snakes and other common colubrids in the hobby like kings, milks, rats etc.? any advice for a beginner would be awesome. Thanks!
