Just wanted to say hi. I have been keeping and breeding snakes for a long time. I sold off most of my collection about two years ago. I’m going to start building it up again. This time it will be mostly pits. Staring with a pair of jani (I’ll post pics when they get here).
I have been looking at the cuesta and reticulated bulls at vivid reptiles. Has anyone had any experience with vivid? I also like the yellow bulls at envy. Any experience with envy?
Thanks.

I just bought a P.D. Deppei from Vivid. It was a great experience. Tim answered all my questions. I told him my color preferences and he picked the snake for me. All my questions were answered promptly and the transaction was flawless. I couldn't recommend him more.

Here is a picture of my guy from Vivid's website:

Jason from Envy is a good friend and has great animals. You would be happy with any snake from him!!

Tim from Vivid is a class act!! I have purchased many snakes from him and his service and animals are great.

Pictured is a yearling Davis Mtn. bull, or what he is now calling Reticulated bull.

Thanks for the info. They both seemed like good places. I e-mailed both with questions and got quick informative responses. I think I’ll have to get a few from each when time comes. Getting my rack set up right now.

Hi and welcome.

Both Tim (Vivid) and Jason (Envy) are top notch guys and indeed are well versed in the art of Pituophis.I've spoken with both guys on and off over a no. of years and always found them to be friendly,knowledgable keepers.

Tim (Vivid) and Jason (Envy) are two of the best in the business, especially when it comes to Pits. I've bought from both of them in the last year, and was very happy with the transactions. Great animals, top-notch customer service. Can't say enough nice things about them.
