Wow Doug.... where's she from? That's a really nice lil' brooksi! Keep'em coming man love to see how she turns out!

Thanks for the compliment Chris!,........Her, and her male sibling are from wild-caught locality animals from southern Miami/Dade County. I'll post a good pic of him soon too.

I tell ya what,....after being used to so darn many nervous, thrashy milksnakes lately, these dudes are a friggin' JOY to take out and hold!!!,.......they either calmly coil up in my hand, or slowly cruises gently through my fingers. I almost forgot how great these dudes really are to take out and hold!

This albino is Honduran is a real sweetheart as well.

That female is outstanding. I think you said the male doesn't look quite as good as your female. Did they both start out looking pretty much identical?

Well, actually, he looks darn good himself, but he's got a different unique look to him. He has unusually wide cross-bars, giving him an almost "Bullsnake" appearance.

It's not the greatest pic, but you get the idea of what he looks like.

thanks again!, ~Doug

LOL!!!,....I hear ya my friend!,.......You have some great stuff yourself!

I love the fact that they are actually offspring from locality wild-caught parent stock(het for nothing). Check out the males unique looking wide cross-bars, they give him an almost "Bullsnake" appearance.

thanks again!, ~Doug
