Re: Gopher Snakes, Russian Ratsnakes, Subocs?

El Ziggy that's what I'm hoping for, maybe start off with a Gopher and move on to Bulls and Pines as I get used to them, I might get others too but my girlfriend doesn't know that yet lol, she's ok with me having one though haha!!

Personally I'd go straight for a bull - gophers are more timid and flighty. Bulls are more balls out.

That said as you've eluded to the is a world of rat snakes out there and you've picked up on some pretty neat species of them.

I'd still get a bull though - very much on my list of snakes to complete the collection with.

I've kept bulls, a couple different gophers, and a few pines as well. I'd agree that once the bulls have some size on them, they are by far the calmest (and typically the largest) of the bunch. I love em all, though!

Calm? Sheesh...mine's hell on wheels, hisses at me every chance it gets, and is the most violent with taking a meal from me.
