Is there anyone working with this species? I have a friend in Arizona that had acquired 2 pairs of these before they were protected and has bred them. Far as I am aware, he can legally gift them out. Would there be a law prohibiting them from leaving the state?

Not sure about that being legal. Not even sure it's legal for him to possess them regardless of when he acquired them.
They don't thrill me honestly. Seems so much similar to nerodia (water snakes) so why not just go with that? If you ask me, they don't even belong in the Thamnophis genus. Probably should be called Acrochordus Rufipunctatus

Re: Rufipunctatus
Hahaha! I couldn't agree more. I used to say that to him all the time. He got them before they were protected so his animals were grandfather claused in. F&W in az knows he has them. They arent the best lookin snake but they are very interesting behaviorally.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Rufipunctatus
Yeah the babies are super cute.
I have had a couple people Pm asking me to get them some babies. I dont know if my friend has babies right now. I haven't talked to him about these snakes in quite a while. I can't promise anything to anybody. Sorry.

Re: Rufipunctatus
If F&W is aware of them, why not just ask them what the regulations are regarding gifting the captive born babies?
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
