My trophy

I finally acquired one of these guys in 2010 after over 3 yrs of searching. Now if I can only find a female...

Aesculapian Snake, Zamensis longissimus

Thanks for the responses, guys. Yeah, I see these guys available maybe every 3-4 years. I only personally know of one other person in the U.S. that keeps them and only one dealer who has ever gotten them. I honestly haven't seen any available since I got this guy back in 2010. I fear he may end up being a bachelor, which is a darn shame for such an obscure species in the trade, yet so freakin' cool and (from what I hear) about as easy to breed as any colubrid.
