This may be a good example of why crossbreeding does matter. Alot of "brooks" out there seem to have been crossed with floridana, then some people say it doesn't matter because brooks aren't taxonomically accepted. Yet they want to call them brooks because brooks has a certain reputation for greater beauty than floridana. But in crossing them some of the beauty and characteristics of true brooks were lost and/or became less predictable to produce.
The above is an example of what a true brooks looks like because it was kept pure, with the caveat that even with "pure" snakes one has to guard against "captive drift", but it can be done. ----- www.hcu-tx.org/
