New first for me FWC

So I was at a local breeder/store picking up my 1.1 Adult Yellow Anaconda pair when I inquired about False Water Cobras. The store owner took me into the breeding room and showed me some of his hypo hatchlings. They were impressive. I had some questions about handling and how they handled their falsies, so he brought me over to a large female that he raised from a hatchling. After about 20-30 mins of discussion and him handling her this happened...

I know a lot of people don't agree with free handling falsies, but if you think about it long and hard, the 10ft+ female anaconda I just purchased is probably more dangerous than this 6ft FWC. And I would never free handle a HOT, but a WARM is ok in my book lol.

Anyhow it was quite an experience, and I felt pretty good being under the very close supervision of a very experienced handler of these B-E-A-utiful animal.

I'm gonna need a pair now ;)

Haha ya, but after watching this girls temperament with the owner I was convinced, and I never go to the breeders without making sure I have a clean fresh set of clothes and I am well showered lol, don't want any of my mice, rats, rabbits or fish to leave any scent on me lol

Do yourself a favor and contact Wes (wilomn) who I consider to breed the cream of the crop when it comes to falsies.

I got two super hypo females from him. Big beautiful girls with gentle attitudes.

If you have to have something more local, talk to Sam and Natalie at GBU who also breed falsies. I picked up a pair from them a few years ago to add some diversity to my stock. I would buy from them over the Serpentarium any day of the week.

Sam and Naomi are good. Wes is amazing. If I were to buy a FWC, it would be from one or the other.

I've heard from multiple people across the state on how shady Serpentarium is....

You know it's weird I have heard quite a few people say the same thing about them, but every one of my experiences there have been great.
