people that breed them live in a state where they cannot sell them...so they have to give them to friends ? I think

people who breed them have waiting lists

they sell really really fast

they do not breed like black ratsnakes (easy)

they are late to hatch also....start looking about now actually...they are out there....just really hard to get....

good luck....do the reading first on them....after finally getting them...people would and should be able to keep them alive , healthy and happy...
