Thanks Kevin!
I have kept Simus but lost my male this year so I had a lone female till I got lucky finding this one. So I will most likely keep a male and do what you said and release the female. Do you live in florida I assume you live in central florida?


I don't live in florida actually,would love to herp certain areas there though. I was just lucky enough to score a wildcaught female simus in 2006 that laid those eggs for me. I've purchased other wildcaught simus,males and females and they do okay for awhile then go downhill for me. Some snakes just seem to know their in jail I guess. I think wild simus stay buried in sandy type soils for extended periods in the wild and only surface periodically??? I haven't had any problems with c.b. or captive born simus except skipping a meal every now and then. Kevin
