Love This Girl!

Received this AZ Glossy female from a friend and allaround great herp guy last year, and I just love this little snake. Mellow to handle, and has eaten like champ right out of the wild! Definitely one of the faves in my collection!

Nice Glossy!

A pretty under-rated snake in my opinion too....

let's hear it for the less common NA snakes! That's pretty.

Thanx, guys. They are a very underrated NA snake in the pet trade. As far as I've experienced w/ both the AZ and CA types they are extremely easy to care for.

I agree,...I've always heard they are a very easy and hardy snake as well. I just don't get why you don't see more of them in the hobby.

I remember many years ago, a friend of mine had a sort of freckled "calico" specimen. But I don't have a clue as to what ever became of it, or any possible project regarding it either.
