Part of my attraction to the floridana are that they sort of bring me back to my childhood in the late 60's, early 70's, as I had a few very nice W/C locality brooksi from extreme southern Miami/Dade county, as well as many other types of snake.

*They are VERY laid-back and handleable when not in "feed" mode.

* Attain a fairly large robust colubrid size

* Extremely hardy snake

* come in many different interesting morphs

* Show lots of individual personality

* Even as hatchlings, they are not flighty, or spastic like many young Hondurans and other milks generally are(although I love those too, and have many).


*The very last thing these guys are is "fragile"..LOL!
