Yes there are a few working with emeralds. Do you have a healthy adult pair? What questions do you have?

For U$300, its probably fresh WC.
Buy CBB if you can. WCs can be a hell of a headache.
Once you have good healthy, well fed adults and a nice set up with good humidity/temperature control it is not hard to breed.

I agree w/ raising the temp to 83/84 max and slightly reducing the humidity. If you have access to a trusted Vet, ask for Baytril and some syringes. Give your Vet the weight of the snake and he can preload the syringes with the Baytril. Usually administered at 72 hour intervals for a max of 3 injections subcutaneously. Works wonders for resp infections. Hope this helps, Jeff
