Simoman 110 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes I know someone who is breeding dwarf retics££££££££££. One reptile shop I went in was selling Green Anacondas to upsuspecting buyers, no doubt they will be in rescues in a years time. After seeing the damage a bite from a big snake i'll stick to lizards, although the bosc has a bit of a grip................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
