Ok I will bite. I am sure everyone ells is thinking the same thing anyway. First of all your post seems to me to be a very irresponsible question. Are you familiar with reptile husbandry? What would you do with the babies? If you plan to sell them surly you will be doing it from your house? If so have you secured an occupancy permit from your local planning department? Most areas even unincorporated ones require it. The best advice I can give is to tell you that in my opinion 98% of the individuals viewing these forums are very passionate about reptiles in general and conservation in general and I am not surprised no one has answered yet but hang in there you never know someone may still answer.

I kind of agree....it would be helpful to explain how much experience you have as far as keeping snakes goes. Pituophis may not be very demanding captives but many get very large and need to be kept in large cages, or else you may learn how they get thier rep for being fiesty. Another thing you may want to consider is as far as popularity goes they're not exactly going to fly off the shelves. Some people do very well selling them in quantity but many people who I know that work with them just like them best, and do not mind having offspring around for a while til they sell. You ask what snakes are easy to breed? How about hatching the eggs? Or setting up the babies so after they hatch they thrive? Let's hear a little more about you and your experience before we start recommending anything Tom Stevens
