looking for something particular

Hello new forum friends!

I'm new to the forum, but not new to reptiles, in my life, I kept a lot of different animals.
In the reptile department, I succefully kept:
2 chinese water dragons (they breeded, but I failed as an egg caretaker)
1 burmeese pyton (hatchling until it was 7 feet long, I was young and naïve back then I was told he would not outgrow his tank...)
2 hatchling box turtles, Jack is now 10 years old and Daniel's 3 years old. Both in top shape, can't wait to see eggs (still years away...)

So thats my introduction before I get tagged as a beginner.

I also happen to be a bonsai enthuisast. I have various bonsais of various shapes and sizes and ages. Trees that hibernate as well as tropical trees requiring lots of humidity.

What I am looking for:
A small(ish) tree snake that will be living in one of my many bonsais. I'm looking for a snake that wont mind being handled once in a while, something that will not grow more than a meter+ long and that will remain slim. What I have in mind is in the range of:
any Cyclophiops
any Philothamnus
Opheodrys aestivus
Or any suggestion of snakes that could look, act, be in the same size or even smaller than those I mentionned.

One problem I'm sure I'll have is where to get those, since I live in Québec, snakes others than pytons, boas, kings, milks and corns, seem to be hard to find.

Anyone can help with breeder contacts?
Anyone know other snakes I could look for?
Price of the snake, feeding habits, humidity don't matter, evreything will be taken into consideration!

Thank you

I'll try to get some pictures uploaded fast, but to be back on the topic, anyone knows where, in canada, I could get any of these captive breed?

I like to get my pets small and watch them grow!

Works for me! Sorry I don't have any advice on a new snake, as I tend to lean towards BPs, Corns, Kings, BRBs, and Carpets.
