Re: When is enough, enough? One more addition?
I have become buddies with Don Soderberg, from South Mountain Reptiles, and Solana's breeder. He has experience with hognose snakes and milk snakes.
He said to absolutely stay away from a hognose being immune suppressed. He loves hoggies, but says they are not for me and, "I urge you to get over that URGE."
So, Wilbur is out. Sad, but it's a small sacrifice for being alive and able to enjoy my wonderful family; Katie, 5 wonderful dogs, and 9 wonderful reptiles.
Don also pointed out that I am spoiled by awesome tempered critters when it comes to snakes. Behira (BCI) has the best personality and aside from a ravage food response, is a total puppy dog. I have Shayna, the Albino Spider BP that I always wanted (an albino BP), and two awesome, but totally different looking, and personality wise, corn snakes. Both are sweeties, but I am convinced that Figment has ADHD. Solana is part Boa, I believe.
He said I will probably be disappointed in a milk snake from a temperament standpoint, aside from the big ones which he loves, the Costa Rican Milk Snake, AKA Black Milk Snake. I've heard mixed things on here as well, and although a hognose would be a great pet, it's now out.
Don's bred numerous different species, although he's a corn expert, and has yet to steer me wrong. His information usually checks out pretty good.
Any other ideas? LOL! Another corn???????
Should I just enjoy what I have?
