Looking to become 1st time snake owner

[BoredTurtle]

I'm a bit socially awkward so not sure how to go about introductions.


My history with snakes is basically that kid that had to pick up everything. I live in NW Tennessee and have received bites from nearly all non venomous snakes in my area with zero venomous bites.



Currently I have several exotics. Most of them are tarantulas with a couple bearded dragons and some other inverts. Was really wanting to add a snake or two.


I did some looking around and am mostly interested in maybe getting an Opheodrys aestivus as my first. They seem easy enough to care for and I can feed them with the feeders I currently have. I'd love to find one captive bred but have no idea where to look. Everything I see with a basic search is wild caught. Can someone help?
