From PCPC? I was close to grabbing 'em as well!

Yup from port credit. I'm glad I grabbed them.

They are in the pet trade, I just don't think a whole lot of people are working with them. I'm waiting to see what the 2013 season brings... I REALLY love these guys and I hope things work out so I can get one at some point.

I believe these were the guys that had them in White Plains btw - http://www.harrisinwonderland.com/av...ilsnakes.shtml

Exclusive snakes in Bramton breeds them every year as well. And a friend of mine from the area produced some this year as well. He held the 2 he produced back but they are around if your interested in them. :)

missed them by an hour!!

My pair has been breeding like crazy the past month so hopefully we get some healthy eggs. To answer the OP's question, I keep my pair in a divided 4x2x2 giving them 2x2x2' each. I have a humid hide in each and multiple climbing branch's. I use heat tape on the bottom giving them a hot spot of 85. They each also have a large ceramic water bowl as they do really love soaking. I read somewhere that if you keep their entire enclosure to moist they can develop a skin condition. The way I avoid this is keep their enclosure dry but have a humid hide and large water dish. Mine have been shedding perfectly, they know when they need moisture so they just soak.
