Hello, my name is Robert Villa in Tucson, AZ. I am looking into keeping indigo snakes for the first time. Specifically, I would like to keep the Mexican Red-tailed Cribo. I am the Co-chair of the Tucson Herpetological Society's Speaker's Bureau and I am looking for marginally Sonoran snakes such as the Cribo and Boa constrictor for special talks on marginally Sonoran herps. How much would a single male or female rubidus cost me? How much would a pair cost me? Your honest and helpfull reply is appreciated. Thank you-Robert Villa

Locality information (IF AVAILABLE) is nice as well.

Robert,
Nice to meet you, and welcome to this little corner of the net.

I can't speak to the price issue for sure,...but I'll take a stab, and guess $500 to $1000 for a hatchling. I'm getting my first pair this year, and I'm not sure what we agreed upon just now, but whatever the price,...it's worth every penny. The real trick isn't going to be price. It's going to be finding some available specimens. We're talking waiting list. But the main man of Drymarchon, and the guy to talk to, in my humble opinion is Jeff Snodgres, AKA "epidemic". You can e-mail him via this website. Just find one of his posts, and click on his name. It should eventually take you to a window where you can e-mail him. He's one of the few people in the country working with this species. May the force be with you.

Thanks a lot. Let me know if you are ever in the Tucson area.
