When an indigenous snake has to be smuggled in from Europe, you know something is wrong. It's a sad state of affairs. I am however of the opinion that there are a few being kept by local breeders on the hush. I don't blame them either.
Why doesn't your German friend breed them & send all the babies back home legally. I'm sure a lot of people would jump at the opportunity to import these. I think It's something Con should think about to be honest.
If I'm not mistaken, this Pair belongs to Slangman (UK). He should be very, very, very proud...
Leaves me in awe every time I look at them...
