Robin,



There are a few breeders out there that dabble in Sonorans but in most cases, specifically with untypical or locality individuals, morphs or albinos. Gophers generally are not as popular in the pet trade as pines and bulls (see the small poll that I did below in May). So my view of Sonoran's (as the number one, must have Pit) is not necessarily shared by the broader range of Pituophis enthusiasts.



As for breeders, I like the Sonoran lines produced at Home Grown Herps. They have some normal adults that I find particularly attractive (the eye of the beholder thing in play agsin here). Others may beg to differ, but breeding is an art form to many and is all about appeal. Jason Nelson has some attractive locality Sonorans and morphs and there are others. You have to snoop around some and find the individuals that appeal most to you. That's part of what makes this hobby so much fun...
