These two are quickly growing on me. The female is already handleable and wraps around my wrist and through my fingers... the male is still - spastic I'd say?! Both are coming along nicely and eating well already.
They really are fantastic little snakes though. Great coloration and way more iridescent than the Epicrates I've owned/still own. The best part is they're only going to become more solid black and iridescent!
I'd say if you're considering getting a pair - definitely do so!

Those are amazing Chris!! I have toyed with contacting John about a black tail cribo or indigo but now that I see some better pics of these guys, I might go this route. Fantastic looking snakes - best of luck with them!! :bow::bow::bow:
BTW, you should enter that tongue shot in the HOTM contest, lol.......

Thanks Kali! You should definitely get some. I love them so far and haven't even had them very long. They make amazing display animals and so far have handled well!

Chris, how are they eating?? John's website states that he feeds a variety - quail, rodents, f/t snakes, etc. Are you planning on doing the same?

Currently they are on f/t hopper mice. From there, as they grow, I may offer chicks and quails as special meals when they're bigger. I keep quail and chicks around as some snakes I have enjoy them. Chicks are really inexpensive as well - $0.13 each last I ordered.
