Wow! Thanks Doug, I would love to! Unfortunately I can't risk my livlihood on keeping them here. If I ever convince my wife to move out of state someday I hope to get some! Thanks very much for the tempting offere though. They are beautiful!

You mean that NJ won't even allow you to keep them ?

They only allow Amels and even that was a fight to allow.

snake_bit Mar 14, 2009 09:01 PM

Theres no really making sense of it Doug. Don't waste the energy.I tried talking to Paul Kalka who was in charge back then and it went nowhere. They can do whatever they want Whether we like it or not. I'm happy I can at least keep CB North Carolina Easterns.

Andres Mar 14, 2009 09:23 PM

Kings will eat each other if they get the chance, right? If they do, how did you get those eastern kings in the same container without problems?

BobS Mar 14, 2009 09:27 PM

I'm just holding the Easterns.The Brooks above are in seperate containers. I use Tortilla warmers for hides in some cages.

snake_bit Mar 14, 2009 10:30 PM

Did the little one stop eating voluntarily? Or were you experimenting and changed temps for one vs the other?

I would LOVE to see picks of these two snakes in the fall. I have found that non feeders over the winter usually almost fully caught up by the end of the season.

BobS Mar 15, 2009 12:42 PM

I kept them under identical conditions but the male refused food and I cooled him down.

Interesting. I'll try to remember to post pics of them in the fall to see if he catches up.
