Yeah, I have heard about their reputation. From what I have heard this is mainly for WC. The store claims she is CB, and it appears so. She has NO external parasites, this store does fecals on all snakes they bring in, and she was found to have no fecal parasites, she is very friendly. The only thing that gets me is, the owner of the store seems to know quite a bit about snakes, she knows what region some of them are from (mex milks, cal kings, etc.) even down to the locality the originial wc's were caught in. She loves snakes. But she claims these guys (red tailed green rat snake) only get about 3-4 with max of 5. This is bothersome, not because of the size, but because she doesn't seem to know this. Either way, my mind is made up down to two snakes, the red tailed green rat or a Speckled Madagascar Hognose.

Thanks a bunch for your help everyone.... I'll let you know which I end up getting.... and post pics of whichever it is in the corresponding forum!

: I seriously doubt if they can reach 8ft. 6ft or thereabouts should be the correct figure. It's on my wishlist actually but its nasty reputation precedes it.
