Reptile & Amphibian Forums

So... for those that have been here awhile... Sunherp/Cole and I have been meaning to trade some milks since 2011. He'd get a couple of stuarti imported from the Sardinal region of Costa Rica I had managed to acquire and I would get a couple of "flame sided" gentilis. Cole and his friend Dell have posted pictures of those beauties for years and for years I just had to have a pair.

We finally managed to ship snakes to one another but Cole had a bit of a surprise for me... a pair of near identical females...

along with this awesome male!

Wish the photo did that male justice but it doesn't. I've had these guys for weeks and simply can't get them to sit still long enough for a good photo.

Cole... you were correct in your assumption I'd be pleased with the male you picked out... I'm stunned by what a handsome little devil he is every time I have him out... and as you can see from the photo... he's eating just fine!

Very nice animals, Gerry. That male is killer.

Thanks Aaron... once again nice to see someone here that hasn't gone over to the FB BS... think far too many folks have forgotten just how much they learned here and just how much they could offer here... sorry, coming close to a rant.

Male is much better than the photo shows. Given they will be my only milks outside of Central America Cole couldn't have done me better.

Hey Gerry,
There are still a few of us here that check the forums. We've not all gone away

Very nice milks that you got from Cole !! He's a class act for sure, and those are some screamer animals.

Thanks,
Scott

Yeah Scott I'm aware a few are still around... just irritating that so many now focus on a "hey look at me" site rather than a "how can I help you" site such as this forum... another rant barely being sidestepped...

Don't want to make Cole blush but yes... a class act.

Funny little thing to his shipment...three snakes as I said... I get home and put them into more suitable housing and leave the shipping box on the floor nearby... I get up the next morning and walk by the box and completely freak out... there at the bottom of the box is a fourth, but loose snake... I quickly bend down and pick up the box because I have to get this snake before he crawls out... with the box now 4' closer to my "I just woke up" eyes I find myself staring at Cole's business card that features a damn good photo... in the privacy of my own home, with no one else around, I still found myself looking about to be certain no one had seen me at such a stupid moment.
