I've known breeders to refuse sale of jungles to people who want them as "pets" as opposed to display animals....
That being said, it's your decision

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-03 Location: Melbourne, Australia Gender:  | | | I've recently been and seen some Green Tree Snakes of a member here (Skunk) and I must say, for something different they are superb looking, highly alert animals that stayed 'surprisingly' calm while being handled. Should either one of them have gotten loose we'd have had buckleys catching them (they are lightning fast  )
So for something quite different, you can't go wrong with them (Adults might be a bit more of a cost than any of the others you have mentioned though) I'm sure he'd welcome any questions about them. Just my 2c worth  Good luck. |
