Wanted: Dekay’s Snake storeria dekayi

Hello, I’m new to the forum, looking for a Dekay’s Brown snake. I work as an educator in Brooklyn and we have been trying to get a dekay’s snake in our education center for over a year. We have applied to add it to our permit so that should be coming soon. I have experience caring for snakes and have habitat set up. We have tried hunting in a few places around New York and dealers like Backwater reptiles have not had them in stock for a while. Can anyone help me get one? Thank you.

I know this is the classifieds, so my answer is in response to the request for assistance in purchasing a snake by a new forum user.

Before buying from a "dealer" (maybe the one mentioned above...but any seller, really), a very good idea is to get a membership here and peruse the Board of Inquiry. Best $25 you'll spend this week, I promise.

Alternatively, any internet search engine can save you a lot of headache. Be proactive, and be safe.

Hope this helps.

PM me I have one
