    I got the snakes as an emergency case, because the owner canīt keep the snakes any longer in cause of private reasons..
    All my other snakes i got as neonates and keep them to adult snakes.
    So i think itīs a little bit unfair, to say, i donīt want do the work from a little snake to an adult snake.
    And the rewards arenīt the reason to get this snakes...

    Work? It's not work. It's pleasure.

    If I'm going to pay $70+ for a snake, I would prefer it to be 4-6 mos old. This is only because I have raised broods so I know there is always that "failure to thrive" issue with some of them. If they make it past 6 mos and are doing well, then "sudden unexplained death" is usually not going to occur. If I buy a snake, I prefer very young snakes, but not necessarily newborns. I know that's not adult but I think you get the point.

    I'm also not against getting adult snakes in an adoption or low price situation. Especially fine radixes like those with the potential to produce some great offspring.
