The snake is a proven breeder bought from a german breeder who was selling out her whole collection because her husband is extremely ill. It originally came from some breeder in czechoslovakia. I hope he proves out to be a specter not just a vanilla. I know what you mean about wives giving greif, but its her fault. I gave her our first snake as a gift because she was begging to have one, I did not care for snakes at the time, but then I fell in love and I was hooked. We now have 14. I just started breeding ASF´s and she wont go near them since she got bit, and one of my females thinks your hand is a chew toy.
