Beautiful!! Why can't we have them over here?

federally protected endangered species.....sucks that we can't buy them with proper paperwork from over seas...but the govt will say they can't tell captive bred from wild caught and won't allow them period....

What about the possibility of having them registered and chipped? Or is it just not worth it?

[ssssnakeluvr]

thats a good idea, but.....if they breed, chipping little babies would be dangerous to their health....the microchip is the size of a grain of rice....14 gauge need used to insert the chip (I work with the local shelter, we chip all dogs and cats th at get adopted out), nearly as big as some of the baby snakes I've seen!!!! plus, our govt.....yea...thats part of the problem....too strict. should allow proven breeders work with them to help rebuild the population.

See, you're all forgetting the exaggerated effect of perspective when there are two points of interest within a shot, one near the camera, one further away!
