I have been looking at these for myself, a colubrid less seen
Thai Bamboo Ratsnake (http://www.jdtails.com/images/coxi000.jpg) , seems to be a gorgeous vibrant snake not seen too much in U.S. collections. A Thai Bamboo Ratsnake.

Ahhh,

Elaphe porphycea coxi, beautiful snakes, and gaining in popularity, price has come down a fair bit as well.

A montane species, keep em cool and humid, they do well on sphagnum.

VPI and Pro-exotics are some of the better known breeders working with them. Pro-exotics should have some hatching out very soon...

www.cfsnakes.com also works with them

Good luck

Chris

May have to give Dave and Tracy a call, they are only about 9 hrs away. They haven't offered any that I have seen, but sometimes living close can be an advantage.
