That a gorgeous snake! It sucks that only a fraction of them survived, but I suppose that is how we learn when working with species that are rarely kept.

I can't stand the huge, "Ball Python Trend"! I simply have no desire to keep a snake which doesn't even move for days, not to mention the fact that feeding them can often be a nightmare. It's all about the big, crazy, voracious colubrids; Boiga, Drymarchon, Ptyas, Pseustes, Spilotes, Masticophis, and the like. Those are my favorites.

“All men lie enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.”- Herman Melville
