Does anyone have experience keeping this snake and if so what level of experience is needed?
Thanks

Pits are supposed to be real esy to keep. You should have no problems with them, they can be hissy but rarely bite.

Wow! Beautiful snake! I love the stripe from the eye to the jaw... reminds me of vipers!

In my quick search to help you find more info... I came across this and had to include it! http://www.eastbayvivarium.com/galle...egogopher.html

This is by someone that owns a couple of them http://www.gregcooper.net/reptiles/sandiegogopher/

Some more info on behavior and physical description http://www.kingsnake.com/pituophis/p_c_annectens.html

Hope that helps...

hey thanks...they just look interesting.
Anyone know what they run? Are they fairly inexpensive?

Ive seen them at shows between 20 and 50 depending on size and local.

We have one of those... got him from Brett last year. Very docile, eats like a pig and real easy to keep. I recommend pits to everyone

I have another gopher...not sure of locale...something that looks sorta like a great basin or sonoran but more like a great basin you can have for 40 bucks plus shipping. He used to be a bit hissy while feeding but now is as calm as a piece of rope. He's maybe 3 feet? I dunno- haven't measured him. He eats f/t adult mice or weaned rats. There is nothing wrong with his tail...it's flipped upside down in the photo because of the way I laid him down with his weight pinning his tail down that way. Just msg me or email me at rdkill@rocketmail.com if interested.

By "pits" they mean pituophis not pit viper...in case anyone is wondering lol
