    Exepcting a new girl

    One of my dream snakes is an Eastern Indigo. Any gender any age, simply pet only i have no intention on breeding them.

    But they're a bit out of my price range right now.

    I made a compromise with myself though. Until i can get an indigo, id settle for a black pine or mexican black kingsnake. See the pattern? I want an all black snake.

    Every time a mbk was available, they were sold within an hour of being posted, no matter what site or store i was on. No local reptile shops carried them either. And finding black pines is not as easy as i would have liked either.

    But i saw a female mbk posted. And paid for her. She'll be shipped out monday. Im so excited and am setting up the new enclosure for her today after work/monday after work. Im truly ecstatic and eager to get her.

    She'll not be my first kingsnake owned, i used to own them when i was way younger.

    Congrats on the new girl. Can't wait to see pics.

    I agree with you on Eastern Indigos. I didn't think they could be purchased as I thought they were a protected/endangered species. Are there people breeding and selling them?

    Yes, but due to their protected status if you dont purchase in the state theyre located in, you have to get a permit to have them shipped. Its $100 application fee and takes a few months to get accepted. Most breeders will help you through the process.

    Congrats on bringing a King back into your collection.

    ...and now I think I'll go grab Django to hang out for a bit. He'll be eating tonight and is coming up on a shed, so I'll get some hang out time today while I can...might be a good week before I can handle him again...

    Now to decide on a name.

    My balls are disney.
    Hognoses are game of thrones
    And my boas are hunger games.


    Harry potter perhaps?
