[For Sale] One of a kind project all set up and ready

Introducing Bad Bob. He is a chilled, laid back special little animal like none other. You see he was born smooth as silk without scales except the belly scutes and yet managed to survive in the wild nearly a year. The place in which he was originally found has been thoroughly logged and destroyed beyond recognition. What was once a beautiful pristine swampland is now a broken down, tilled ugly water snake apocalypse.
Ol Bob was found one day by an avid herper (myself) who immediately set him up in an ideal captive situation that is after I made sure I was not dreaming a few times. I thus began a mission to line up the best possible mates for Bad Bob. I had offers to buy or trade coming to me out of the blue before I had a chance to fully decide and all at a bad time financially, luckily I did not sell and managed to increase this project and fully acclimate this guy. Now it is clear to me that I travel a bit too much to raise babies but no problem maintaining the adults.
It is now nearly a year later since he was found and still has that same goofy permanent smile on his face and he should be pretty close to two years old by now. Good reason to smile since the cream of the crop girl wise has been accumulating here. He feeds on fish, and readily excepts frozen thawed pinky mice as well if scented. Eats right out of your hand.

So here are the mates lined up for him:

1. A young hot "Cherry" Red Hypo, erythyristic hypo (co-dominate trait) virgin female raised up for two years and eats same diet as Bad Bob. Highly doubt a Mangrove saltmarsh hybrid since the locality is quite inland and the area produces some just real screamers we have worked with in the past. Yes the area she came from is where the CB cherry reds sold a few years back for $200 EA came from.

2. Young virgin female named "Cousin" collected from the exact same body of water where Bad Bob was from on the very next night, not lookers but you know chances of carrying that gene cannot be denied. Tame and a great feeder.

3 & 4: These are two massive gravid females, yes gonna drop a ton of babies likely a lot of hypos and who knows what (No definitely not Bad Bob's progeny!, sorry he is still a year away from that!!! BE CLEAR ON THIS) These girls were only just recently found. Great looking snakes Hypo-types from another region where this species tends to be twice as large as average. Selected for color and size at the same time. Big Bertha I, and Big Bertha II

This project is a firm $3,500 cleared. This is minus any fees or shipping. Figure shipping at $50 and 3 percent if the paypal payment route is chosen. Easiest buyer gets first dibs, If you are local in Florida you can pick up from me. This can easily include more watersnakes if wanted or you can just choose a the few select mates here. Or even just Bad Bob himself!

Florida banded water snakes Nerodia fasciata pictiventris are fun, joyful, outgoing natracines to keep. They are not picky and settle in quick usually quite tame, handleable and easy breeders who give live birth. They are are snake best kept in aquariums with a large water bowl and a small low powered basking spot light. They do great in smaller groups and fed separately since their appetite is quite voracious. Husbandry requirements is about the same as a garter snake, these are not as aquatic as a lot of the other Nerodia are. These snakes have such an extreme and diverse set of colors and patterns and the genetic possibilities are endless, (some albinos might be out there still in the trade too), no doubt that they need to be worked with. So I have it all set up and ready, only question is: Are you the one?


Bad, Bad, Bob..............a song parody of Red,Red, Wine ;p

Terms of Service, Please read before placing order:
Terms are valid and you agree when purchasing whether you took the time to read them or not!!!

CHECK YOUR STATE LAWS, 100 percent covered on this end over here and if you try to get me to send something illegal in your state you will not get your money back, and will not receive the animal! In California and Arizona you would need a permit and need to provide that information to me. In Georgia unlikely possible without a permit since a native, the rest of the states I do not fully know just that most are no problem it is and your responsibility to know.


Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG): LAG is valid on overnight shipments only. Overnight shipments are sent with a tracking number and on a ship date the customer agrees on and a signature is required on delivery. This required signature can be waived on request but it voids the guarantee. Live arrival is guaranteed on all overnight shipments provided somebody signs for the package on the FIRST delivery attempt. The LAG is VOID when: a signature on delivery is waived, or if nobody signs for the package and it needs to be re-delivered. All claims must be made the same day that the animals arrive and photographic evidence needs to be provided with the claim. Replacements, credit (usually generous), or refund will be given once the photo evidence has been provided. NO REFUNDS ON SHIPPING COST Unless the carrier refunds me, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRIER DELAYS (I suggest giving a day or 2 leeway when picking a ship date). Be sure to give me the correct shipping address if different than your paypal, EVERY TIME even if you do regular orders with me!!! If you accidentally send me wrong address from a typo etc and it causes a problem NO REFUNDS. Not responsible if given a faulty address or did not get the new address at time of placing the order! Also I suggest providing a phone # so the carrier can contact you if there is an issue. I will not use your number to solicit sales unless I am specifically asked to do so and even then I prefer E-mails. It is only for in the event a carrier runs into an issue. A quick phone call has saved several problems in the past more times than I can count! If neither I nor the carrier can contact you and that causes a delay or a problem then no refunds.
I ship year round, use appropriate Styrofoam boxes, heat packs/cold packs. I check the weather and coordinate with the customer if there are less than favorable conditions to pick the best ship date. We have well over 20 years’ experience as a live animal shipper with an extraordinarily good track record. Making sure the animals arrive safe, minimize stress, sound and healthy has always been top priority. All of this policy is designed to circumvent common mistakes that may cause a possible delays so please read it through.
