I bred them about 10 years ago. I got them from Gulf coast stock. About 6 years ago I bred them to the whitesided blackratsnake and the babies all came out whitesided. So that means the gene is allelic.

Nice snakes. Great tempermant. I think the WS BR X WS Everglades is the best though.

I had a pair of them; lost the male due to a heating malfunction. They're gorgeous snakes. Pretty typical North American rats. Similar to my corns & black rats, but a little more aggressive.
Both of the glades I have now have a ton of personality, but I rarely handle them, because they're too jumpy.

...ive bred yellow and evrglades for over 10 years and id have to say they are my favorite colubrids...with lots of gentle handling they tame right down and become docile hand pets plus they can get over 7' so youd want to start the handling early in life...
