Adult or subadult bullsnake for Classroom
Hello,
Our 15 year old bullsnake has passed away due to a respiratory infection brought on by COVID disinfection. They closed our building in March without notice to disinfect and he had not been the same since - off feed and spewing mucous. The vet had no answers.
I have $200 or so to spend on a snake to replace Roger. I'm aware that I could buy another baby (I got Roger from John Cherry) but I will be retiring in a few years and having a baby snake in the classroom is simply too fragile of a situation. Roger didn't go into the classroom till he was about 4 feet, so that's more or less what I am looking to find. Nothing fancy, but friendly.
I should mention that I train electricians, as part of an apprenticeship program, and the snake is there because the students will run into them on the job so we spend a little time with a snake so they will take it in stride (and maybe not kill it). A baby just won't do the job.
Before I have to settle for a baby I thought I'd post this and see if anyone has a retired breeder, rescue, or surplus adult that is 'classroom appropriate'.
Thank you
L Johnson
