    Sunbeam Snake

    A petshop around here is selling Sunbeams for what seems to be a low price $75. The staffer said they were captive bred, but I'm extremely suspicious at that price.


    They are absolutely gorgeous animals, but my short research has said that most die very young due to stress. Does anybody have experience with this species, and are they really that fragile? Anything I should know to talk me out of one?


    Thanks!!

    I have never worked with the sunbeams but have a friend who does and he says they are extremely stress sensitive. The only way to keep them is to leave them alone. No handling exe. Because stress will absolutely kill them. They also need several places to hide and are borrowers so even seeing them is hard

    They are beautiful tho
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
