Found the nicest little pet store just 40km away. Mostly reptiles and a few rodents. Lots of cool snakes, Nerodias, black rats, Coelognathus radiatus (Elaphe radiata), two Pituophis melanoleucus subspecies, the mandatory corns, boas (Boa constrictor and Corallus hortulanus) and pythons (P. regius and Morelia spilota).. Plus the lizards, frogs, invertebrates and tortoises.

No garters, though. But that black pine snake almost got me.

Thanks to snakelovenbabe's beautiful pictures of her bullsnakes I just had to have one..and he is very cool..so thankyou!! I do have a question though..right now I have him in a large rubbermaid container..but I am afraid the humidity is too high for him...is there a way to lower humidity in these tubs and what humidity is safe for bullsnakes? Thanks so much!!

More ventilation is the solution if you want the humidity to decrease.

[Jenlang_79]

LOL! I guess that is common sense uh...oh well..do you know how high the humidity should be...he is hanging out in his humidity hide right now also..must be about to shed...

I went to twin citie's reptiles today..that place is crazy..and spendy..almost all of there snakes were like 150 dollars and up a couple were going for 5,000..my baby bull was only 40 though..I think it was the only cheap one..but he is exactly what I wanted!:-) They are selling green anaconda's there..and they are 150 dollars..crazy.I would think they would cost more! The lady working said they can get 20 feet long...can you imagine? I think I'll stick to my six footers lol!!

Captive born (i.e. "mom" was caught gravid), maybe? Either that, or they're cheap because it's the only way to get rid of them. Green anacondas are one of the largest species and definitely the heaviest in the world. And they're water snakes. Good luck trying to keep one of those if you're already staring at the price tag.

20' is the average, they can grow to 30'.

I didn't mean you, I meant those people that look at the price tag and go: "Aztec corn, or green anaconda.. I'll take the anaconda, it's cheaper."

I live right next to an elementary school..

The scary thing is, there are actually people out there who think like that!

[Stefan-A]

Not really. My experience is more with too low humidity than too high.

You could go by the climate, and if possible, the microclimate. In what kind of places would you find the species in the wild?
