I enjoyed keeping up with these animals for a while. Picked up the female as a juvenile from Brian in Raleigh, NC. Planned to have the male shipped to me shortly thereafter, but he developed regurg syndrome, and Brian nursed him until he was 100%, then I picked him up in Daytona a few months later...Obviously the snake has thrived very well and fathered my only litter of Surinams, when I figured he was still a year or two away from being sexually mature. He was very determined to be a dad.
The bottom photo is of the male taken just a short time before he moved to Miami.
All the best-
