According to Bill Love, who I quizzed on Brooksi not all that long ago told me what they considered to be the best Brooksi back in the day looked nothing like this one pictured in this post. Mark [Crimson King] also has mentioned this a few times.
If I am buying Brooksi, I really hope they look a lot like this one, no doubt everyone associates nice yellow with Brooksi.
However if the truth be known it is the hobby that has manipulated what Brooksi "should" look like, as apparently they were very pale yellow and I have not seen many like that in a long long time.
Now, most including myself market the yellow snakes as Brooksi. The darker and muddy ones are Floridana, and that is not quite right either but then again, Brooksi as a subspecies doesn't even exist.....and let's not even touch Goini for the moment.
Regardless the pictures are really nice. That's my kind of King.
