They are difficult to get started as youngsters. (Coachwhip Snakes that is). If you wan some there is Myself and three others working on establishing them as a snake for the hobby but they are among the toughest challenges to hatch and one of the very hardest to get feeding out of the egg. They are one of the smartest snakes I know and one of my favorites. The tough part is providing a feeding hatchling to someone who wants one. After they take the first meal they are easy but the first meal is near impossible.

I think the problem is they are smart and stress from day one. They burn energy and might shut down if pestered too much. Half of my offspring refuse food and die the other half might take six months to kick into gear, a lot of work for a snake that sells for $15 as a wild specimen......Bill
