Is it suriname or surinam?

I use suriname, as do many breeders. I've seen some people call them surinam though.

I did an online dictionary search and find both as viable spellings, although "Suriname" is probably the most ubiquitous option.

That is a great looking animal. I remember it as being from FLRT's originally. Was wondering who the parents were.-----RON

I purchased her from Serpent's Den, and assumed she was an FRT offspring. However, communications over the past year have made me question this-

She's a gorgeous snake, but has a chronic RI that I've spent hundreds of dollars to try to cure....Ceftazidime, Baytril, Amakacin...none have resolved the issue. Thankfully, she continues to eat very well and is growing big (over 7'). If I can ever get her cured, I have a great Mike Eckert male to breed her.

All the best-
Jim
