...and back in..at my elementary school's library ..only to re-check it out!
Actually in and around those years (pre-listing) I had a few and bred them. I don't remember having as much difficulty as many of the keepers these days have with it. I was 10-12 and had decided they were IT as a "pet snake". Of course you could buy one for $25.
Kept them outdoors and they really responded to direct sunlight. I remember being surprised by 6-7 big ol' eggs one day. Then I watched another pair copulate and thought they might be trying to fight or something! HA!
We used either damp sphagnum ar even newspaper back then for incubation media. Again, outside on the porch. I imagine temps in the 80's.
Ahh...the good ol' days! huh?
