So I was planning on getting a pair of corn snakes this summer; a corn was my first snake and it would've been nice to have them. Whelp my husband got a job in GA. Guess what? No native reptiles may be kept as pets, PERIOD. No amount of documentation of captive breeding or morph variation will help you. Plus it's a $1000 fine per animal. Great.
So what are some large, heavy, and tameable colubrids that are NOT native to the southeastern US? As a personal preference I'd like to avoid snakes from hell (Be it personality or because they're wild caught), species that don't feed readily on rodents, and I have a high preference towards animals that can become puppy tame with time and handling.
I already have the Blue Beauty snake on my list of possibilities, although finding a pair of healthy captive bred ones from a reputable source is looking daunting.
What else is out there? Big and/or heavy preferred and I am a sucker for pretty color/pattern.
