was indeed from East Texas, near a little town called Porter (25 minutes or so from my home in The Woodlands). It was supposedly collected by some deer hunters(sometime around 1998-2000)and given to my friend Craig Howard who owned and ran a local pet store at the time. I had a chance to see this snake in person a few times before it died a couple years back. It was a phenomenal looking creature, almost too good to be true. It was a male and I believe there were a few attempts to bred him to some females but I never heard if offspring were ever produced.
Hopefully God will one day allow another one of these marvelous animals to be discovered.
