Just send him an email and tell him what your looking for. I was looking to get an Axanthic and he didn't have any so he set me up with one of his contacts who did and I got an amazing deal.

Cheers!

Thanks Chris - I have heard good things about Omega, was actually having a conversation with another breeder about them just this past week. I have a couple of things lined up at the moment so I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I would also highly recommend urban reptile. all the animals I have gotten from them are top notch, second to none and they are great to deal with.

I actually spoke with Craig yesterday - Looking forward to dealing with them. :D

Don't worry, you're not alone. There are a few carpet python guys up in Canada I wish I could do business with, but costs are prohibitive at this point in time. The same goes for Europe.

It seriously sucks. I've been looking at all the animals that are soooo much cheaper in the States and I simply cannot get them. If I lived in the States, the hobby would be a lot more affordable for me it seems because everything is coming out of the US so I'd save on shipping and save on the actual animals... :/ *sigh*

Some of the prices and expos in New England have had me debating doing a road trip down there and smuggling a snake or two back with me :P :rolleyes: of course I'd never really do that. I don't have the guts for it.

Let me know when you go! ;)

Road tripping to a Reptile Expo would be fun. You'd get a vacation and some new snakes all in one. I wonder what the import taxes would cost to bring something across the border by car?
