Holy cow, Shane! Flames are a particular color variant (morph) of the
Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis subspecies, and they're still fairly rare. That guy did you a favor cause "flames" are also pretty expensive. Garterguy gave you some really good advise. We've just started creating care sheets at this link (
http://www.thamnophis.com/caresheets...itle=Main_Page). You might have a look in there once in a while because they're growing fast. Congratulations and best of luck with that little dude. It's a special breed!
