I, like all of you, just love these animals. Throughout the years I have picked and chosen animals that I really love, I have only three snakes now, a JCP, a black and white Mangrove, and a Blood. I have just a couple more to go and my collection of favorites will be complete. The Eastern tops the list. Not because they are difficult to obtain either. I do understand the problems finding them, I was really just venting and didn't expect any responses at all so I do appreciate everyone being nice. I don't breed any snakes, they are all treated like children and have extremely large display cages. I am very eager to obtain one, and am willing to pay. I do have a question though. There is a guy here in town, Portland OR, who has a reptile shop. He claims that he can get wild caught juvi's, with papers, for around $150.00. I have not tried yet because most of his animals are in pretty poor shape. He did get what he called a black tail in the other day, but I think is actually a uni color, that is not doing real well. Should I beleive this guy? You know the saying, if it's too good to be true it probably is right?
