Been trying to find a BP (about time, huh?). At this point, looks like I'll be going with one of Brian Gundy's later this summer.
So, anyway...I've been looking at a bunch of stuff, including cornsnakes, but BF finds the colours of the localities a bit too bright. "Desert tones?" he asked. Ok; Vosjoli's book The Art of Keeping Snakes has a gorgeous pic of a rosy boa in copper and muted blue (can't get any more Desert South West than that). I located a pic of similar baby (not for sale) on line. Still not sure what the locality for that colour combination is, since they are SO hard to find, even on sites dedicated to rosys, but he ACTUALLY SAID:
"Well, if you find one like that for sale, maybe we should get it."
Speechless. (However, I still want a BP.:P)
