Beautiful snake & a GREAT choice for a pet. The whole Pituophis family, I like 'em all too. They stay a nice size to handle & really seem smart about it, or at
least the ones I've known were: easy to feed on f/t, & easy to "change gears" (handle without bites). The worst thing I can say about them is they can be pushy
& restless even in large cages...I'm sure because they are active hunters. A few of them are pretty feisty as hatchlings & take awhile to calm down. It's nice that
they're big & robust right out of the eggs too.
Yes. They are my number one recommendation for a first snake for some who wants a snake that acts like a snake. They are active and eat like champs. I have my current two pits in 4x2x2 enclosures, and the whole thing gets used.
