    I have a sneaking (snaking?) hunch you'll really enjoy these 2 beauties...they're such sweet creatures & curious too.

    Not sure where you got that impression...wish you'd asked me sooner, lol.

    First one I ever had (many years ago) a likely w/c adult from a horrid pet store that teased her so she'd strike & the cage stunk with musk, she was in such panic. I know it's best not to buy from such places, but what can I say? It didn't take long with me for her to realize she was safe, & she'd even carefully take food from my hand, as long as I held it between my finger & thumb so it stuck out...apparently on the palm of my hand there was too much of my scent along with the fuzzy she clearly wanted, & she wouldn't take the chance of biting me (?) or so it appeared.

    Eventually I got her a mate & bred a few litters: it's so hard not to keep them all! I currently have 2.1 adults (no plans to breed, I don't dare) & I've never met one yet that wasn't docile, curious & sweet. They can move fast if they want to (for prey) but when handled, they tend to move slow & deliberately. I think you'll be pleased...I don't find them difficult at all: they feed well (f/t is fine), & mine enjoy branches with "tree houses" (baskets attached to the branches). Nocturnal of course. Good vision & normally shed well too. (they're desert snakes, they don't need added humidity, & I keep mine on a mix of Carefresh & clean paper shreds from my shredder)

    When mine were hatchlings, I made some mazes (for hides) out of cardboard (shoe box lids+) with multiple doorways, & they were hilarious, the way they obviously enjoyed the intrigue & security. They had been shipped to me from Maine right out of their eggs just ahead of winter & were easy to feed & raise, but of course I didn't rush them into handling, as I'm sure you won't either, until they're feeding etc. Though I don't feed my current adults by hand, when I present their food they approach the tongs all tensed up as if to strike, & then show great restraint as they eat "politely" from the tongs... I think you'll enjoy your new little ones- they're perfect (& nice size) pets, IMO.

    BTW, mine eat all winter, with UTH (hides on warm & cool side) & ambient room temps. of 70*. Not fussy snakes. Though I "spoil" mine
    with an overhead & very-dimmed black incandescent night-light over their branches/baskets, where they often prefer to sleep, instead of
    their hides on the tank floor. (yes, I use glass tanks...each adult is in a 40 g. 'breeder')
