Anyone in Portland?

[matic]

Hello!

I was wondering there were any breeders in the Portland, Oregon area. I bought my BP a couple years ago, and never had him sexed. I'm thinking about breeding, so obviously I need to know if he is really a he, or if he is a she...

None of the vets here (I live in Bend) know how to sex. Or, if they do, claim you need to put them to sleep first. If I did that it'd end up costing me about $150 to $190 to get my BP sexed.

There is another one available that I may buy (if it's the opposite sex), so I would need to be able to sex that one too.

Anyway, I'm leaving for three days in Portland on Monday, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out?

Thanks!

The only problem with that is I don't want to travel with my snake to Portland, since I live in Bend, and I'm not sure the vets would have a snake on hand to how me how to sex with.

But thanks, I'll see if there is a vet close to here!
