    Re: Best pythons or boas??

He also breeds transpecos, these are not commonly found but I heard nothing but great stuff (Boger knows more). But a 40gallon may be too small for a transpecos?

    His website is easy to use, if the snake did not transition to f/t (he tries to do that for all his hatchlings), he will list what it is eating so you are not caught unaware, and any questions or changes to the order can be made via email and he responds very quickly.
    I didn't bring up Trans Pecos rat snakes only because the request was for 'best python or boa'. My nickname is a pretty big hint (Bogertophis subocularis = Trans Pecos rat snake) & they fit perfectly as adults in a 40 gal tank. If you want any more info on TPs, just let me know, vivi? They are mellow & personable snakes, I've never known an ornery one & I've bred them in the past, but my first one came from a pet store, likely a w/c (adult) that was being mistreated, & it didn't take her long to mellow out even after all that. TPs don't go off feed in winter either...at least mine never do, they're easy to feed from tongs on f/t mice. (they tend to be 'polite' feeders, lol) I love their big 'bug eyes'.

    I've not bought from VMS but have only heard good things about.
