Hello,
My name is A Marty. In 1990 a good friend of mine by the name of Bill Fitzgerald, owner of Riverside Reptile Ranch a private zoo in Stanton MO, went to the Waynoka rattlesnake roundup west of Stillwater OK. He did this often to rescue snakes. He noticed a bucket of bullsnakes that had a nice looking orange bullsnake in it. He had to purchase the entire bucket for that one snake. He paid $15.00. He released all the other snakes and kept the 5 ft female that was obviously gravid. She laid 7 very large eggs. They all hatched. He gave me a pair of the offspring. In 1994 I bred them and ended up with a mix of hypo's and normal patterned orange bullsnakes. In 1995 I did the same thing with similar results. In 1996 I was going through a divorce and had to sell all my herps for financial reasons. Ginter purchased all my bullsnakes. I am so very happy that so many people enjoy the Stillwater Strain. If any one Knows any breeders working with the pure stillwater strain please let me know I would love to here from them.
