Captive born is the only way to go with these guys Travis. Dont waste your money on wild caught and dont support them being imported because they almost never make it. I have talked to peple who got several wild caught (around 10 or so at a time) only to have one or two to live and they never never really thrived or reproduced.
Your not going to get them cheap but they are awesome snakes and are worth the money. Every time I get one of mine out I am truly amazed at what a beautiful snake they are.

Good Luck, Randy Whittington


:Is it hard to acclimate WC mandarins? i've been reading up on them and wish to purchase a pair. i find that WC are much cheaper than CB and i'm sure that doesn't come without a reason.
: any info will help. thanks.
