Erpeton tentaculatum (tentacled snake) - NYC - P/U or Ship

Looking to get 2-3 Erpetons to increase my group of two and hopefully get a pair and some breeding going on.

These are the last herps I'm looking to buy this year as I'm getting my two new spengleri turtles tomorrow!

Adult size preferable but I'll take whatever I can get.

Thanks! Not to bump/derail, but you coming to the con? I'm still waiting to hear on carpooling with another NYC MFKer, but I'm hoping to make it out.

Doh!

I'll def let you know if I manage to breed 'em!

I have not - but have you checked Kingsnake lately ?

I'll definitely take some if you sell any!

Question - are they escape artists? Do they even try? Have you caught one shedding yet?

Sorry Jude just saw this and haven't been bumping much.

I usually check kingsnake but I've been lax recently.

They can definitely be escape artists. They do try, and I had one that was sick that tried harder than the others and eventually went off feed spending all its time above water and died. My vet said this isn't uncommon and there's no real cause.

They shed all the time, and it's easy cause it's underwater so humidity isn't an issue. Both of mine have probably shed 5-10 times since I've had them.

Bump!
