Get ahold of Brandon Osborne. He has some of the nicest around. IMHO.

Bluerosy, I did get your e-mail a while back on this same topic. I'm also keeping an eye out for just a good ol' normal Brooksi, or a Florida (intergrade?) King. Since I'm not a breeder (I'd like to get one just for the natural beauty of it!), I'm still working on picking up the meaning of all of those things like het, hypo, pyro, flame, ghost, axanthic, anerythristic, etc etc. Since breeding is not a priority for me, I probably won't concern myself a lot with genetic traits. And based on earlier threads, it seems that the look of a young/juvenile Brooksi does not necessarily reflect the look of the same snake as an adult. So likewise, I'll probably be looking for adults vs. yearlings/juveniles.
Bottom line is that I'm still researching. But I'm keeping an ear to the ground!

My experience is that there are ALWAYS people selling 2', 3' and larger brooksi at snake shows. I always see them there for $30 -$65.
You can always get a hatchling and raise it. They usually eat like pigs. I was changing the paper in one of my yearling's sweater boxes tonight and felt something bump my hand... It was my little female brooksi completely outstretched seeing if I had some chow for her!
