If memory serves me correctly the original was caught off I-80 in southwest Florida about a couple miles from Bill & Kathy Love's house. It was brought to Gulf Coast Reptiles shop in Ft. Myers & turned in to Chris McQuade who paid the guys a few bucks for it & kept it, it was a juvenille female Chris & Sheila bred it, then bred it back to some offsprings & "Voi La" thats how the ling got started.

It should be noted the original WS Everglades seen in the attached pic only died last fall, she had consistenly produced a couple of clutches for the past 10 years or so. I had several of her direct offspring as well as some from Dwight Good. The past few years I have been seeing more & more WS Everglades with cleaner white sides on them.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Cheers
Dean
