Here are some pics of a few snakes I picked up recently. I've never been into kings that much, but I really love the whitesided brooks. Now that they are affordable I had to get a few.

Picked up a pair of whitesided brooks kings for $50 each, here is a pic of the male:

Next is a female hypo I picked up for $25:

Gotta love brooks, these things eat like there's no tomorrow!

Thanks for looKING,

Thanks. I saw them for $65 last season here on the classifieds, figured I'd wait until '07 to get a few and maybe get a better deal. The whitesides are beautiful snakes though regardless of price.

they used to be 400 to $500 few years ago. enjoy the snakes! i love brooks.

Yep, I definitely remember that. I could barely afford to drool over them back then. LOL.

Getting into kings?I remember your name back when i was a newbie here back at the turn of the century.
Didnt you produce the Alb. Yellow Rat X Spledida a few years back and few others that i dont recall.
If so i picked up some of that cross from a regular here???Rosy somethin? Cool animals ,my 500$ W/S's are awesome adults

>>Didnt you produce the Alb. Yellow Rat X Spledida a few years back and few others that i dont recall.

Yep, I think that was about 8 years ago? It was actually albino yellow rat X holbrooki. I'm pretty sure RW did end up with some of those original or second year F1s.

"Have you ever tried simply turning off the T.V., sitting down with your kids... and hitting them?"

it's a brooks kingsnake...aka florida king.

Actually the WS Brooksi held at $500 each for at least 5 years before they dropped. I think the gene is about as useful as they come since it can be bred to everything. Where'd you score the Hypo? It looks like one I sold not long ago.

I got her at the Kentucky Reptile Expo last weekend. I should have picked up more than one. Doh.

hey dwight, good to see ya 'round here its kinda sad and weird how the morphs like ws drop so fast?, but it is nice to see them within reach pricewise i suppose, it'll be '09 before my triple hets breed i just may c r a c k and have to get me a visual ws before then though. lots of exciting things w/kings happening what with double&triple homos and quite a few documented reccessives. look out bp's the kings is comin,,,,,,,,
