I started out in the 70s with Boids, and through the 80s I had the Pines, the the Kings, the Rats and the BT Indigos and the even YT Indigos, those are all real cool snakes but other than the BTs and YTs I pretty much stuck with Fla snakes. In the 90s I started selling the Scarlet kings I collected to Rob down (now up) at Glades herp, good guy, bad rap. anyway, I now sell them on the net but of all the snakes I've gotten to know in 22 years of collecting the only snakes in my current collection are my 1.2 Eastern Coachwhips (btw have 18 eggs ready to pop) and a few Screammer Scarlet Kings and a pair of Black Pines to suffice my real desire to raise the Eastern Indigo and/or The Fla Pine, the B.Pines give the satisfaction of all three, Big Balck and Pine, but I think the coachwhips are way under-rated and one day will hit the hi-dollar range when their numbers in the wild are done falling. I also believe the Red Racers and the Pink Mtns will likely leed the way but I'll be keeping my Easterns. JB
