Hey Dean, long time no communicate. Sorry. The black male you sold me about 2 years ago is doing great and loving S. Texas. We've communicated briefly about erebennus sitings in the Rio Grande Valley. I grew up right in the middle of Harlingen, Texas, and have always see the black snake. We still see it... hatchlings as well as adult. Sited adult female and hatchlings this season. The one saving grace for erebennus in the Rio Grande Valley is reliable water. The Arroyo Colorado runs thru Harlingen to the gulf. Numerous resacas. And the Valley is still largely agricultural with a canal system from I believe 100 years ago.

However, this habitat won't last long. The Valley population is exploding. Predictably habitat will fragment, like Florida, leaving any possible erebennus in state parks. If you have any question I'll reply as best I can. See ya, Juan Gutierrez p.s. would like a female soon... and p.s. How's breeding rubidus???
