Although I would have released that particular specimen also... I just want clean color and clean genes...JB This snake was found in sarasota co.

not sure what you meant but I don't keep pine snakes as captives anyhow. I caught 2 in the last 8 days. here is the other one. yours is very very nice.

nothin personal ment to you, just an inside joke with the regulars on the forum, and have spent half my life looking for a pinesnake (wild) not all crossed up good with albinisem or all that worthless gene stuff, but the pine i want has no marks on the head and no black evident at all anywhere. like from areas south of tampa or in some spots in counties near tampa and to the north a few counties JB Oh and that snake in the pic I posted died ten years ago but you can see why I look for that gene...

I can see that you are obsessed with Florida pines of a particular look. Send me an e-mail, and I'll give you a couple of locales. One is in Ocala National Forest, the other is in Indian River county. Be prepared to pony up.........the torture continues!
