Wow this was a very helpful forum! I was thinking about doing the same thing in hopes of getting my female numbers up. I was a little hesitant mostly because of the possible disease and I really don't want to encourage the importation of wild animals. I know it is the cornerstone of this hobby but for some reason I don't mind putting domestic snakes in the tubs but I feel guilty about taking the "freedom" of a wild snake. I know, I am hoping to get over it in the future.
