I've always wanted to keep Gray-banded kingsnakes and have been especially interested in the Blairs phase snakes that have the wide orange bands around them. In the early 2000s my wife and I visited the home of Ric Blair where we saw maybe 100 or so of them in his collection. Ric said at the time that he had a compulsive desire to buy them up any time he saw them for sale. I completely understand.
While I have always wanted to own them I'm not that interested in breeding them. Primarily because I've heard it is such a pain to get babies to eat and I don't have the patience for difficult eaters.
