hardest thing about these snakes is not buying everyone you see. lol. ones never enough but keep in mind if you are not capable of handleing more than one then dont and if you want to breed your snake buy a male either a few month before you plan on breeding or get a loaner male. i have both a male and female about a year old and its kinda a pain and i have a long time til my girl can breed so im stuck with a male for no reason but i fell in love and cant get rid of him. lol.
