I think he got it from Rex Knight. Too many "I think" in there, but I've got to give it a try. LOL. I'm hoping to see Glen and maybe at least talk about his collection the weekend after this. Nice snake Stephen. Good luck and thanks for posting the pics.

I had a colony of wc vaillanti 7-8 years ago. They actually thrived (once the subcutaneous spargana were removed - yuccch!) though I never got them breeding. Sold them off to a few people here on the forum and others (you know who you are 
! Here's a photo of one of my old males from back then.

when he posted a pic about a year ago. They are very nice looking snakes David. I hope a few US breeders can get some captive bred offspring going. You've worked with (and continue to)some pretty nice species David. I can't wait to see what you're going to produce this and the following seasons.
