Re: Quote from our friend "Bob"

well, suppose i should respond as i have seen 75 or so of these snakes this year and may very well see more, first off let me state in my personal opinion even though he says they are captive bred i highley doubt it im thinking he raids a good den or something, I mean who's selling that many captive bred adult snakes and selling gravid females like there's no tomarrow. so that's my assumption but you know what they say when you assume something ...............

So, quick update

I have only found one dead one out of the 40 or so we currently have left, there are a few with blisters and minor abrasions and some are having some pretty horrible sheds, aside from that though i'd say in my opinion the animals are no worse than any other wild caught snake (as i am categorizing these as WC as that is my opinion of them)


there for they should be treated like a wild caught import, and some fecals would prob save a number of these snakes, cant blame bob for parasites, garters eat animals that give them parasites nothing you can do except treat accordingly

as for my personal cool blue pugets
they are fine, my 2 gravid females (and yes they certainly are gravid as we sold some to a well known reptile specialty store and agreed they were gravid as well) are eating like pigs and no signs of any illness has yet revealed itself, my male had a slight run in with my terrorist cat but was unharmed through the ordeal but managed to stink up the house with the lovely aroma of musk, anyways he has shown no signs of illness either


so yea my 2 cents for what it's worth (maybe just that 2 cents)
