I have some wild caught animals but mostly I have snakes purchased from breeders or sometimes wholesalers at reptile expo's. I will collect a wild specimen if it's aberrant or if it has amazing coloration and would be worth a line breeding effort. There are some looks that I feel strongly would be VERY cool to breed for. Such as the pale olive green stripeless eastern with brick red spots. My female, she makes me drool! I prefer captive bred if I can get it, but many of the snakes I am after just simply are not routinely available CB yet. That will be the whole goal of my business, to make CB specimens of a wide variety natricine snakes easier to get and established true captive born and bred lines. So many natricine snakes available right now, even if they are captive born babies, are from WC parents. I would like to work towards getting captive bred babies from captive born parents and so on and so forth!!!
