Advice Appreciated! (Pine Snake)

I'd recommend talking to Jonel Lopez at Selective Propagations or Jason Nelson at Envy Reptiles regarding pituophis morphs.

I can't help you with those - I'm more into locality pits than morphs............

Thanks for the recommendation. I am interested in the idea of getting into locality pits if this girl works out for me. I've read that many pines are considered a threatened species, so I'm sure breeding helps out with the population.

Pine snakes are great! I have a 3 year old male. He has a lot less attitude and spunk than most pine snakes, but still gets a little pushy in a funny and cute way.

What skip said about them pooing more is true. I also find that compared to my ball and my boa that it does smell. This equates to more clean up efforts however it's more than worth it.

My pine is an aggressive feeder. Only my boa beats it there. A little shake of a small rat and it's on. I have never had it refuse food (I use F/T).

So I have a ball, a boa, and this northern pine... I like the pine so much that I am considering making my next snake a pit, probably a bullsnake. I really love the pit attitude and I think you will, too!

I'm attempting to post a few pictures, we'll see how this works out.

That is...really cute. I love how they have the "angry eyes" look that you usually see with vipers.

The breeder had a snow storm, so I'm not sure when she'll be arriving.
