Mine is from some breeder called the serpentarium. Not sure, some kid just didn't want it so I got it for 20 bucks. by far my favorite snake "personality" wise though.
Sounds neat, so is it a snake that is a mock rattler type of thing? I know very little about them, but see kids get them at petstores and abandon them because they are 'too big and too mean'.
