Beautiful snake & a GREAT choice for a pet. The whole Pituophis family, I like 'em all too. They stay a nice size to handle & really seem smart about it, or at
least the ones I've known were: easy to feed on f/t, & easy to "change gears" (handle without bites). The worst thing I can say about them is they can be pushy
& restless even in large cages...I'm sure because they are active hunters. A few of them are pretty feisty as hatchlings & take awhile to calm down. It's nice that
they're big & robust right out of the eggs too.
Yes. They are my number one recommendation for a first snake for some who wants a snake that acts like a snake. They are active and eat like champs. I have my current two pits in 4x2x2 enclosures, and the whole thing gets used.
Very nice pick up! Love her colors...What did you decide to name her?
I have 2 San Diego Gopher snakes and love both of their personalities. Love that "mad" look they have all the time and are awesome eaters. An easy keeper for sure! Thanks for sharing

Her name is Peach!
Gophers are great too! I have a Sonoran gopher as well, and my eye on another pair at the moment. Trying hard to wait until the next expo to order them, though, in case I see something there.
