I got both of my black ones from Vic Morgan in Florida, he lists sometimes on Kingsnake classifieds. I have his phone number also if you want to pm me for it.

Vic Morgan in Florida always has them for sale. He advertises on Kingsnake.

He is notoriously hard to get in touch with. I would continue to "hound" him. I bought one baby from him quite a few years ago...one with split scutes on her carapace. She's growing nicely and I'm happy with her. Her name is VicMorgan! She weighs about 30lbs now and laid her first clutch of eggs last year.

The only complaint I have about Vic is he will never give me a direct answer when I ask him if he incubates the eggs for male or if he incubates for female. As it turned out, the one I bought was female. But he would never say.

Thanks, I'm going to shoot an email to pacificnorthwest, has anyone bought from them?

Also Yvonne i remember talking to him a few years ago, maybe 2 years ago, he would answer my questions, but like you said very brief answers.

Thank you both for the help. Much appreciated. ANy other places would be great, or any other info.
