Awesome Jorge!, very cool that you have that photo of it too!

I think my very first snake was a Rough Green Snake(Opheodrys aestivus) that I captured in the front shrubs of our house and kept for a good while around 1966-67. Not long afterwards, my mom was getting me nice Indigo's, Floridana, Corns, yellow rats, etc... from a friend of her's husband that was a very avid collector from the Homestead area of southern Miami/Dade county. Man, that virgin wilderness area was just STACKED with cool snakes back in those days..LOL!

I have a pic somewhere of me holding one of my Indigo's in 1971, I'll try to dig it up sometime and post it..LMAO!
