Introduce a new animal to captive breeding

[Bogertophis]

Re coachwhips:

That's really good to know. I almost bought one recently...

The other thing that won't be so convenient is feeding them. They are NOT constrictors, they gulp down their prey, & while they have a good-sized mouth & may accept
f/t, they have a long skinny body that's not conducive to taking large prey, & since they're active by day (love warm sunshine) they're always hungry & always "grazing".
They accept a varied diet, but with a fast metabolism that thrives on numerous small prey items (instead of one big meal every 2 weeks like many of our pets) they're on
the messy side as a captive. So be careful what you wish for...a long beautiful snake that may live 20 years sounds great until you find out how often it needs to eat and
how messy the large cage it needs will be, day after day. They get over 6' long & they're not real happy having "walls" around them. Just know what you're getting into.
I think they're awesome in nature though. (they were local when I lived in So Calif desert)
