I've always been a sucker for the desert phases. I just love the way B&W looks on a snake. About 7 years ago now, I found a baby one in a local pet shop that was absolutely PERFECTLY banded. $60, so I couldn't resist. This was the first colubrid I had had in years. At that time, I had a lot of different pythons and boas, and of course my beloved Copperheads. I got it home and set it down on a table while I was arranging it's box. I turned my head for literally 5 seconds, and when I turned back around, it was just GONE. No sign of it whatsoever. I eventually figured it set a new land speed record at diving off the table and disappearing into the wall via the heating vent.

10 months went by, and over that time I had moved out of my mother's house. One night out of nowhere she calls me in the middle of the night. I was partying with friends at the moment, so I didn't answer it. She called back a few minutes later and said her boyfriend had just dropped MY 10 pound weight on a little black and white snake's head. Because I didn't answer, she just gave him the blessing to whack my snake. If I had answered the phone the first time, what would she have done with it until I got there, ya know? Still chaps my ass. That was a beautiful snake. Still have never found one like it, and believe me I've looked......We back on topic yet? Guess nobody cares anyway. Cool.
