Try this web site. Ben Segiel is really good. I got mine from DTS herps. Jeff Clack is who my buddy Shawn got his from. I'll try finding his web site. But for now try this one.

Mine only stuck at me once ever. Never bit me, but did bite himself. lol
I had another BRB years ago that was mellow as can be. It never struck or try to bite either. I don't know where people get their nippy. Besides the two i own i handle three other and two CRB and never had a problem.

i just had mine out for 15-20 min. never struck at me or anything... i honestly dont hear alot of cases of being agressive...

i have read on care sheets that they are nippy, but i never heard people say that theirs is nippy**

I got mine from D&K Reptiles as well but I too live close and picked him up. I have never had a problem with him. I've had Skittles for about 6 months now and he has never even struck at me, let alone bite me (or my boyfriend) - and I handle him often and usually for long periods of time. His sheds are perfect. Eats perfectly - never hesitates - even when he's in shed. So, when I was researching I figured that I'd be bit at some point by now - especially at the beginning when he was younger.

Here is D&K's website: Home | D&K Reptile Sales (http://www.dkreptilesales.com/)

If you go to the master list from the homepage, I think that has a more updated list of current snakes for sell. Unfortunately, I don't see any on that page but it says under 'available animals' that there are 2010 babies coming soon
