It has taken me nearly 3 years to find one, but at last I got one! I had read an article a few years ago about these snail eaters and I wanted to get some to
start a captive breeding program here. Little did I know how difficult that was going to be. None of the importers had any, nor had they seen any either ever
or in a long time. I got in touch with the author of the article..by snail mail (no pun intended) and we've been e-mailing back and forth for the last 2
1/2 years. He's been trying to find someone to breed them in Costa Rica in order to try to import some of the offspring. I have contacted most of the
major zoos worldwide to see if any of them had some. I contacted several universities that had a reptile library including one in Russia. I also contacted
every reptarium in Costa Rica that I could locate. Over the years I've collected any written information available on the species and have continued to
e-mail importers monthly to remind them to keep looking. By chance my buddy Joe was looking thru the classifieds on Kingsnake.com and found one for sale. I
came home to a yahoo I.M. and immediately found the ad. I e-mailed and called the seller and when I got out of work I was hoping there would be a message on
my phone...nothing....came home...no e-mail....now there was no ad! I was crushed...so close and I missed out! At Joe's urging, I tried one last e-mail
and in the morning I had a reply! The animal was available and he had been out of town. Soooo, to make a long story short....I got it! Without further
ado....Meet Maestro: Sibon Nebulatus-Common name: Cloudy snail eater or Clouded Snail sucker.
