My first pit and first post.

Thought I would share a picture of a recent acquisition. A Louisiana Pine hatchling. I normally just "stalk" the forums but should probably contribute what little I can.

Hope the dallashawks handle doesnt mean you live in Dallas. TPWD will put two and two together. Trust me.

Gorgeous snake though. I wish I could legally own them.

Kudos

No HappyHeathen, I live in North Carolina not Texas so no worries about the legality of ownership. My first name is Dallas

Thanks Herman I like him as well, they are gorgeous animals. I hope the wild population remains self sustaining. It would be a great loss to have these disappear someday...

scott john....sounds familiar........ i think he acquired some louisiana's and/or black pines from me a loooooooooong time ago........
these were a tremendous experience for me. i've been out of the hobby for a few years but really enjoyed working with these snakes.

Thanks Ross, awesome website by the way! That was my my first pit but I acquired a pair of hypo Stillwaters shortly after so I actually own three. The pine is by far my favorite......
