OK I'm sorry this is the for sale section and not wanted, but every topic I go in is absolutely miiiiles away from me, it's disappointing seeing a gorgeous snake you want but can't pick it up.
So I am after a new snake, with or without viv/set-up, but close to LA5 9BD.
Money isn't an object, so offer whatever you have.
Thanks and sorry if I shouldn't have made this. |

Ian I have messaged you on IansVivarium.
I also really like the look of a cali king stripe, have you got a picture of it Steve? |

I am willing to travel up to like 70 miles ish?
I'm definitely going to have a look at Leeroys Lizard Lounge, and that's over 60miles from me.
So I guess about that would be alright.
He still has the Cali king Stripe hatchie! £35 |

I'm not too good at distances but if you'd be prepared to travel down to the Norfolk/Suffolk area I know a lady with some beautiful little snakes near Halesworth. Any use, do you want her details?  |

I got Loki from a pet shop 5 minutes away from my house and Falcor from a recommended breeder an hour away. Falcor was no more stressed than Loki when I got him back home.
I was emailed photo's of the male pewters and picked him that way which felt kinda odd at the time. He was exactly as his photo portrayed :-)
I'm perfectly happy with Loki,but if I got another snake I'd definitely travel to the breeders again as the snakes are really something else!
How far are you willing to travel so people might be able to give you a wider scope of ideas? |

Pretty much the reasons why.
Yeah can see what your saying about handling but a snakes handling can change from one day to the next! You may handle it on a good day at a shop! I only buy from breeders i trust i know what they tell me is true! If its defensive they tell me!
As for the stress of travelling mate! If you use a courier you trust they will bring them to you with with less stress and more comfort than you can provide if you picked it up yourself as they are kitted out with temp control to keep the snake at perfect temp for traveling!
Just thought i would give you more of a option to get what you wanted!
Happy hunting! |

That's true, but I still wouldn't want to stress it out.
Besides it may be OK to handle for the breeder, and won't let me handle it when it gets here.
I'm old school really, I like to see what I'm paying for :D.
Thanks a lot Steve, will he give me some kind of discount for that information? lol |

If money no object then why not use a courier for £45 anywhere in the country and get the snake you really want! Which i end up always doing! LOL. |
