Paul Miles, Frank Memmo , actually bred them the Barkers , Doug Price , Kamerans guy hatched them . SD Zoo I think twice .Off the top of my head. I don't follow them anymore. A handful more or less. A lot more in the forever freezer. Most of the breeding's have been pretty recent . Better animals coming in.

The original late 80`s early nighties wave , terrible. The early 2000`s equally as bad. I wouldn't be surprised if for every clutch produced so far 25 adults died. Some animals produce one clutch then kick. Poor. Im not saying it's easy but the game plan might need some re-tooling.

Hank Molt brought the first one in around 74 maybe. It was a solid animal to start. I think Hank wanted $700.00 .It was long ago . I remember that snake lived a very long time. 15 years ? Im pretty sure Dave barker ended up with it. Might have even bred it. Seeing how a snake lives in it's native environment is very overrated in terms of trying to reproduce that environment under captive conditions.
