Yeah, if you live within 2-3 hours of dakski you should definitely plan a visit. Like others on this thread, I don't know many reptile enthusiasts, so I haven't had the opportunity to handle many different species. Other than his ball python, Shayna, all of his snakes were firsts for me and my family. dakski and his wife were lovely hosts and we all had an absolutely thigh slappin' good time.
From Riverside Reptiles where all the animals are wonderfully accessible:
My only regret is that I didn't have sense enough to get a pic with daski and his wife. Oh well, next time.
