Hello, I'm new to the forum but have been a Kingsnake.com fan for years. Throughout this time i've done quite a bit of research regarding different types of herps and have one question that I can't get a clear answer on. Is there a REAL difference between a captive bred BCC (like a Surinam) and a captive bred BCI as far as temperment goes? I'm aware of the obvious physiological differences...but it seems like some people say they can be just as sweet as BCI and some say they are rather testy and aggressive.
My goal for the Surinam that I will soon be purchasing is for Pet, possible breeding later on, and educational purposes (next year I'll be guest teaching a pre-vet class with a professor to maybe spark some new reptile vets!) Mostly it will be my pet though...any advice on reputable breeders, advice on the species, and anyone who is actually selling some BABIES or YOUNG captive bred can contact me at roubear33@yahoo.com
I realize that balls are most calm and all that...I"ve done my research haha, but I've just absolutely fallen in love with the coloration on these Surinams. I'd love a retic too but...not enough experience and not enough space!!!
I appreciate it.
