Popcorn - 5 year old male leucistic Texas ratsnake

Wow! I thought they'd be more. Saw babies online for $90, but I'm afraid of buying anything online. If they really are that inexpensive, that makes my pursuit for one even more dedicated. I would've never thought that a gorgeous snake like that would be 30 bucks! Guess I need to call some of my local breeders and see if they have any or know where to get one.

Well, I have two breeders/sellers looking out for a leucistic texas rat for me.... one was on the hunt for 2 weeks now, and hasn't gotten any leads yet... he has been looking at other reptile shows he goes to, and supposedly has a few friends of his looking for one for me too.... supposedly. I The other breeder/seller I contacted a few days ago said they'd keep me posted about finding one for me, but won't know about any until next wednesday....... so, I have a few lines out... but no bites yet. I hope they aren't giving me the run around, and are actually looking for me..... and if they are actually looking, apparently finding a Lucy TX ratsnake is like trying to find sasquatch. I'm trying to be patient, but with so many people I talk to saying they've owned one or highly recommend getting one, it's making me desperate for getting one. At this point, I'll accept just about any size, age, but I still really want a male, at least. I've been told to avoid buying one from a website.... but that may be my only way of getting one....... with the local reptile shows nearing the show dates, I'm beccoming so antsy about finding one. The breeders/sellers I contacted are going to be at both shows, so, hopefully, something comes up by then.
I'm sorry for beeching (er-hem, to keep this PG) and venting and being melodramatic ...... but I've never fallen soooo hard for a certain type of snake before. They say patience is a virtue...... for a reason lol.
