A few BRB questions

[zimbabwepegasus]

If you are wanting a PRB, I think jeff clark has more experience with them.
Dave Collings at Rainbows R Us Reptiles does BRBs and is a great guy- works a lot with Brian Sharp.
Brian's are gorgeous and he's super helpful, but he's really focused on developing morphs and they tend to be spendy.

another good source for PRBs is Will Bird at http://www.ectotherms.net/ecto-cms/

he has a large collection of BRBs and PRBs and produces a large number of babies every year

I second will bird. I was contemplating buying a pair a while ago, and he was first on my list. But, I decided I want something a little more high end.

Will is definitly a great guy....i wish he would prove out his hypo BRB to be genetic LOL

How is their temperment compaired to a B/P? The local petco has a BRB I've been eyeballing.

Hmm... I always shudder when I think about petco. But if you insist. BRB's are like any other animal, they are "said" to be skiddish, and stressed... but I don't know how true that is. Most I have read says that they are extraordinary animals to keep. They are for the intermediate keeper, and not as forgiving about husbandry mistakes, but I think with regular handling, they will be an excellent snake to own.

Thank You, next weekend on the 30th here in St. louis is a reptile expo we are planning on attending, I will be able to meet our local breeders and see what's there, I also worry about the stock large pet stores sell.

I suggest going over to Kingsnake, the BRB forums are usually active, and although it's only a few people, there are usually very knowledgeable.
