How cool was this?

I bought a pair of baird's rat snakes from Jimmy "Draybar" Johnson last year. When I recieved them he called me and told me that he wasn't 100 percent sure of their sex. Well, this summer they had grown enough for me to probe them easier. Low and behold I had a "pair" of females. I emailed Jimmy and asked what we could work out. He replied by emailing me pics of two holdback males that he had and said "pick one and I'll send it to you". One was an 06 from adults that weren't related to mine, so I picked that one. About a week later he called me and let me know the package was in the mail. The next day when I got the package, to my surprise he gave me both the 06 male I had picked and the other 07 male! That's a stand-up guy in my book. Here are some pics. First the 06, then the 07, and both together.

Draybar's Baird's are as nice looking as they get. It also doesn't surprise me that he took care of you like he did. He seems like a stand up guy.
