    My RBS

    Back in 2013 I got a pair from I want to say Ben Renick, can't be 100% sure. This was the two that I received.


    Then at a reptile show I got my favorite of the three that I owned, and the smallest who was also the most chill.


    Then sometime in 2014 so a friend of mine took on pretty much my entire collection. The one promise I had her make was that if anything, they came back to me. So fast forward to earlier this year, I was trying to get back in the hobby and I was only going to do it if I could locate these guys as the girl who was taking care of them didn't want to part ways. I think she felt bad and ended up agreeing to give me back 2 of the 3, as she wanted to keep one. So there we have it I have the two back, and my favorite of them all the littler of the three though they've all gotten pretty big now. I'll snap some pictures later today if they're about, but for now the old pictures will have to do.

    They're awesome. My favorite snake tbh, and I wasn't coming back until I found one, even better is I have two of my original three now. I was hoping one would be out, but I know both looked like they were going to be entering shed soon.

    I took care of a supposed pair for a year or so, the way they move is really neat. The jerky movements.. haha. They weren't at all mean, either. I could handle them really easily.

    They really only jerk if you get near their head, though my little one of them always seemed to enjoy being rubbed under the head. They're generally not bitey at all, but my two are pretty aggressive feeders, and even when they were smaller, I had one or two occasions where they flew past 12" tongs.

    What made you get rid of them?

    It might have been because they weren't really handled or anything. Hand movement even a couple feet away would make them move jerky.
