who wrote that email to you Shannon? That is a pretty wild story to say the least. Those are some cool looking snakes.

35 year subocs should probably be in a Guiness Book of records.

That e-mail was from Teryy Vandaventer himself.
My Friend Randy Limburg has a Blonde Suboc he caught as a adult in Lajitas in 1972 (I was 1 year old)and it is still alive and breeds for him.

Shannon,
That is incredible on that suboc, I wished mine would live that long but then again I don't usually keep them around for more than 5- 10 years.

Yeah I read another post from Tim Ricks where he mentioned Terry V and the same story about the WS Specks. They sure look cool. Will there be more of those on the market this year?

By the way, do you have any sonoran gopher morphs left?

Russ,
You will see them in about two more years I am sure,They are still ground floor at this time.

I am out of sonoran morphs at this time.
