Not sure who is breeding Tamaulipan Rat snakes but I do like the picture of your copperhead. They are one of my favorites. Here is a picture of one of mine.

Thanks Allen. Where did the Broadband originate?

I think the broadband Copperhead range extends from central texas up into Oklahoma and even parts of Kansas. The few that I keep come from locations in Plano Texas where development have pushed them from there habitats. They are for the most part very mellow easy to keep animals if you can get past the fact they are venomous.

Thanks
Allen

I've been keeping and breeding them for about 10 years now. Very unique and interesting species.

Thanks Toby.

No problem, Randy.

I've always liked the look of them - Another "some day" species for me...
