I bred these in the past, but the ones I now have came from a teacher in Maine who bred snakes & taught his classes of children all about them. If you like, I'll see if
I still have his contact information...maybe he's still breeding them? Mine are the "normal" ones but are het for the silver & blonde phases. I'm just no longer into
breeding any...(I want to keep them all!They're too darn cute!)
Anyway, there are other sources too, these are more well-known than many years ago when I first got into them. My first one was a wild-caught from a pet store too
(I know,) & even SHE turned into an amazingly friendly pet, in no time. (And they'd been teasing & mistreating her in the store, & her cage stunk! I hate to buy
anything from such places, it keeps them doing it again, but I couldn't leave her there!) She would actually carefully take food held between my fingers without biting me.
