I've been looking a bit into gopher snakes since I saw that reply and they sound really cool, I love the look if bull snakes but if I'm being honest their temperaments scare me a bit haha, so a snake that looks similar but a bit smaller and more docile sounds amazing to me. I think I'm gonna keep researching them a bit as they've really piqued my interest, if you have any general info about them you'd be willing to share I'd really appreciate it!
