>>No, i hav'nt seen the type you mentioned are they like the ones from Tex., BTW the orange and black specks are my absolute fav. holbrooks, hopefully i'll be adding some to my collection someday.

Well, I lived in SE TX for 4 years not very far from where the orange ones were found in SW LA. I never found one ANYWHERE close to the ones I'd collected in SW LA. The "multispeck" pattern was the same, but not the coloration. I've seen some awesome ones further north in TX (perfectly "multispeckled" with light yellow specks!), but nothing like the ones in SW LA. Central LA has some ones that are a super dark olive green in sunlight (more green than the normal "black" ones), too. I've never been lucky enough to catch one, but I've seen images, etc. from friends who found them.

My favorite ones will always be from southern LA near the Atchafalaya where I gre up, though.

Who did you get your lavender/chocolate/hypo/whatever-they-are-called-today ones from? I regret ever selling my colony of them.
