So I decide to spend my Christmas day out in the field hoping to find some nice herps, maybe something to add to my collection. I find this one location, near Toms farm and start flipping tin. The third tin i lift and out pops this fellow. I immediately id it as a FL king and put him into a pillow case. I walk a little, thinking he was very light colored to be a FL king so I take that crappy picture just to email to Tom for positive identification. The snake was very squirmy so he did not really pose well for the camera. And I didnt really want to stress him out more than necessary so I put him back in the bag.
Tom emailed me back almost immediately and with all capital letters wrote " THATS A BROOKSI!"
That was pretty exciting news for me and just the start of a fantastic day of herping in the field.
I gave the snake to Tom figuring if anyone could turn him around it would be him.
I hope he acclimates well to life in captivity and becomes a proud papa one of these days.
Bert
