Normally by this time of year everyone has or has had the snakes on my wish list that I mentioned before. Why am I not seeing any of these snakes being imported? Something I'm missing maybe...or is everyone just hiding them from me? lol

I'm sure there's been a few imports this year. I know Stephen Emerick posted some Vallainti's that were extra after taking care of the others on the lists. People usually take the imported snakes and put them in quarantine and then have the neat task of trying to get them to feed, take care of their health and keep their immune system up, not to mention dealing with parasites and shed problems. I don't imagine seeing or hearing of these for a few months anyway. Steve at Napa Valley has recieved a nice package impiort. Try shooting him an email. I think you made your point previously about not gettting things on your wish list and you posted your list. Ask Steve if he's working another import or if there's anything available from the one previously. Now, I'm not the one to say Steve can do this in any way, shape, or form and I'm not volunteering him for anything in anyway. I'm just suggesting you contact him and start communicating with him on your list. Generally you need to get involved with paying for what you want while the import is still overseas and being worked on.

Thanks for the info, I'll see what's he's got in his "bag of tricks". I found someone who had a male G. oxcephala, but they never replied to my e-mails, so...And glades hasn't had what I'm looking for yet, or any of the other importers I check...but I'll check this out and see what I can do. Thanks, and let me know if you see anything too.
