Wow, I just got into the corn snake breeding business and I've always fawned over BRBs, but NOW I want one of those. Grrr, I wonder where I can get into breeding them. It would be a shame to loose them in the hobby. I don't like the WC-idea either, if CB is possible.

There's very few breeders, at all. Apparently its hard to get them to breed in captivity, I'm just going to have to cross my fingers (when and IF i find a female!). However I saw someone had some CB babies on kingsnake.com so try looking on those classifieds!

I agree, CB is the way to go if at all possible. But to get started you might have to do WC.

UPDATE: He ate today! I left him alone for over a week so that he would hopefully be relaxed enough to eat here. I figured he'd be hungry by now, thank god these guys apparently never bite! I tried feeding him outside of his tank, a live mouse. But he was completely uninterested. After an hour of letting him sit in the feeding tub and stare at the live mouse I decided, to heck with it, and put him back in his humid home with the live mouse. Just checked on him and the mouse is vanished! I think I can see a bump in his gut but it's hard to say for sure, since the mouse was probably a hair smaller than the thickest part of his body (but I dont want to feed live rats, I like ratties).

I'm just really relieved that he's eating. I've heard from someone else that they will only eat in their enclosure, too. So I'll just have to tell him to be careful and not ingest too much of his substrate, and throw the mouse in there with him once a week.

Beautiful snake! Used to own a pet store and never saw one like that. Of course I had to google.
Heres a link to a place that sells them.

Oh wow thats cheap! I can't help but fear that they are non-eating WC adults. Well, I'm positive their wild caught... I guess it'll be a gamble either way, and that is a good deal. I'll probably get a female from them.

Thanks for finding that site!
