The threads have most of my experiences in them. Their are a goodly number of eggeaters on KS right now. OutBackReptiles has what looks like Dasypeltis fasciata(apparently imported from Benin) for $65 each. I'd snag a small group of them since it is unlikely you will find more anytime soon. I would if I had the funds-anyone want to sponsor me? LOL Once you can find food they will eat and get them eating they are very easy to keep. If they refuse-they are probably the easiest snake to keep going on tube feeds as well. Chicken eggs are useful only for large eggeaters. At the size you most commonly see them at they can take Coturnix quail eggs...for smaller snakes, button quail, dove/parakeet etc. eggs will work.

I recently did a phone interview and that and some video of my snakes is posted at www.herpnation.com

I will resurrect this old thread , it's an interesting thread... it's now 2013 going into 2014 .... The Herp Industry : Where are we now ? Where are we going ? ..... I have my views and ideas, but I'd like to hear others on here express theirs. A lot of things have changed and happen since 2011 !!!!

It seems to me that the ball python ridiculousness has gotten even worse. I'm so sick of seeing them...
