Very Noice :D ... What of your other one ? Will they become breeders or remain separate? ?

still have my other one. they must be kept separate as one will eat the other. the only way they can come together is for a short time for mating. i plan to have them both probed just for confirming their sex. i also would like to build a matching terrarium for the new one :D

oh, i got it at an awesome price... snake and entire setup for $75 :D

oh, and the previous owner said the snake was aggressive... every time he would try to pick it up, it would strike at him...

i got the snake home and realized that it was pretty much blind as the 2 previous sheds were incomplete and it retained the eye caps... i soaked him in warm water for a few minutes and removed 2 of the layers. then, it fed on a nice little mouse and the next morning it had shed again but retained the caps again... another nice soak this morning and i got all of it off and it can now see clearly :D
