I personally would never buy one. They're amazing animals but they die very easy in captivity. Someone in Europe has been able to keep his alive on a diet of Pure White Tree Frogs, but no one else has been able to keep theirs alive, as far as I know. If you did buy one, you'd pretty much be paying for a snake that's almost certain to arrive dead, or die shortly after arriving.

This is also a valid point.. For the record I would not make an impulse decision as I may have made it seem like I would..

One can dream though! Would be a very cool guy to have in a collection considering the rarity.. not to mention it looks like a rat snake and an alligator made some regretful decisions one night

I wasn't saying that you would, I'm just saying that you'll probably be paying a LOT of money to buy a very very fragile snake, that arrives dead 50% of the time. And the whole rat snake and alligator comment... That's gold! LOL!
