I recently got my first Drymarchon, a blacktail cribo or Drymarchon melanurus melanurus through John Michels at Black Pearl Reptiles. I can't say enough good things about Black Pearl, John was extremely quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the entire process and I look forward to doing business with him again.

On to the snake. This is a male 2012 hatchling produced not by John but through a friend of his from John's "clean line". If he looks anything like his parents he should look like a nice "text book" Blacktail as an adult. He was in shed when I got him 2 weeks ago but has since eaten twice for me (small mouse fuzzies) since shedding. He's very curious and seems to almost take in and be aware of what's going on around him in the two short handling sessions I've had.

Here are two quick cell phone pictures I took, I'll update more once he has settled.





Thanks for looking and feel free to share pictures of your own Drymarchon!
