Scariest thing happen today, Also Update Photos

Well, Little Sarge got loose in the backyard (don't ask why, long story) and got himself stuck between a vertical cemented rock (pictured). Funny thing was he didn't want to come out and even if he did it was a really tight fit. In the hour he was in there, he kept on getting stuck to the point that he wasn't able to move he head. The only way he moved was by us poking him with a hanger with tape on the end (to make it not sharp). After a long time he finally was nudged out and we snatched him up. The lesson here is to never trust the instincts of a collared.
I plan on putting a large enclosure out there anyway so he will have a place to run when he grows up. The funny thing is that he is always so calm and gentle that he will just sit there on my arm for hours while I read or watch tv. He also snatched a cricket hiding in the rock so he didn't get off too bad. Now he's calmed down and is acting his normal old self.
I gained a new aspect on collareds too, inner instincts.

I've always been on kingsnake but just reading the forums and looking through the classifieds.

Male purchased from eco regional
Still to be shipped

Here's him At Eco regional's facility
I asked for his highest quality male he could obtain. He is one of them or similar. He picked out a very colorful one for me.
Great guy to work with.

I can't wait to see new pics of your new purchases. Those really are stunning lizards. I seen them advertised too. Very cool! I hope they do well for you...those lizards are screamers for certain.

I took a new wc lizard out for a photoshoot one day while I was home for lunch...that sucker bolted on me and ran on his hind legs all the way across the front yard and made it to a hedge line! I looked all over the place. I finally found him hunkered down in the grass about 20 feet on the other side. I had to go back to work with grass stained knees from where I dove to catch him before he made it into the bushes...I just missed him LOL.

I haven't got mine an outside pin yet, but plan to. Yesterday I was letting my collareds(luckily one at a time) to sit in front of my sliding glass doors. As soon as they got in the sun the flattened out and laid down. After about a minute they became a lot more active and scidish than normal, I ended up chasing the female out from underneath apliances.
