sounds like you had a fun time. i was at the same show, and picked up a lucy rat snake from Nate at select captive bred. they are wonderful guys and i am sure you got a quality snake.

its kind of sad that breeders are willing to throw 20 bp's in a tank and try and sell them in public. i would never buy one like that. some guy had a lucy for sale for $50, next to a tank full of bps. defanitly not supporting that breeder. i pick up my lucy for $20 more, for a quality breeder. and thats how it should always be.
