Posted by: rearfang at Thu Oct 9 11:43:03 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by rearfang ] Ok...Depending on who you talk to...That is a Florida king. Some dealers would call that a Brooks, I would not. With out going into the arguement of what is a Brooks or...is a Florida king a legitimate ssp. or just the penninsula intergrade Connant mentions in his (prior to update) field guide. I would not call that a Brooks because the bands(even at that size)would not be that bold or wide spaced. Also there is more red on a good Brooks. There is a population of high yellow Floridas that are as pale as Brooks but lack the high band count that the "True Brooks" have (which is the reason for the near patternless look) near Lake Okeechobee and I have seen snakes from there go into the market as Brooks as recently as a month ago. I can remember a pale Florida that I caught in Davie Florida that I sold and then found the same snake being sold as a Brooks upstate. So your best bet is to call it a Florida. [ Hide Replies ]
