Well, for those of you who remember my ranting about my SO getting mad about me getting more snakes.... I finally got an answer from him.

aparently his complaint wasnt getting another snake, it was getting another snake BEFORE we move! his sister owns the apartment we live in and they are selling, so we have to be out by july 31. So when he said his issue was not with what, but when, it made sense.

so my troubles are still which snake to buy.

bruce, a local pet store owner, says he gets in the leucistic black rat snakes in all the time, and his rainbow boa pair are due to have their next clutch in september. so in a way it is better that he had me wait because then I can get what I want, and not what i would have had to settle for.

still cant decide on which snake to get. they are both so beautiful. anyone got any opinions on which one you would want to have? and if so, why?

thanks folks. gotta go get ready to teach my class at the kids school.
