After 2 years of waiting and planning, the opportunity presented itself and I acquired my dream snake at last. Say hello to Mira!
Those were the clearest pics I could get, she's blazing fast.
The breeder wasn't Zerkle as I was initially planning (really wasn't looking like he was going to produce any this year), but I chanced upon one from Florida (Vinnies Bees) on MM selling a clutch for a decent price compared to the bloated numbers everyone else is asking. They were extremely communicative and helpful during the process and she arrived safe and healthy so it was a good choice.
