I've mostly been a lurker on this forum, checking in from time to time, oogling photos and such, but I've decided it's finally time to act on my growing curiosity. I posted once quite some time ago about being interested in Drys. Since then, I've gotten in contact with the man by the name of 'epidemic' on these forums and had some in depth e-mail conversations about the various subspecies (species now?) of Drymarchon. Even though I lucked out and just happened to reside in the same state he does, I still have yet to feast my eyes upon his collection. I digress. After a couple years now of wanting a cribo or indigo, and just never really having the space or means to get one, I've finally decided to go for it. I just called today to place my order for the young adult male unicolor Ben Siegel has on the classifieds. I chose this animal because he already had some decent size to him (between 4 and 5'), and because he supposedly has a great temperament. Knowing that cribos can sometimes have less than flowery attitudes, I wanted one that had already been well-socialized as my first. They'll likely be shipping him out on Monday for Tuesday arrival, and I'm pretty anxious to see him. It'll make for a good week early on....womas on Monday, cribo on Tuesday...lol. I used to be a venomous keeper before I decided to refine my focus onto my pythons, but I've always been a fan of elapids and elapid-looking snakes. As it has been noted here on many occasions, you just can't get much more cobra-looking than a cribo, without getting a cobra itself. Anyway, I'll post pictures when he arrives.
