What species or subspecies you want in this new collection Tony?

That is THE question but I'm leaning towards few morphs and more of the classic type animals. I REALLY like the new line of non-hypo brooksi Nick is working on.

I got a pair of baby Sand Kings this year and maybe I'll get something else next year? By the way my sand kings both ate pinks right off the bat!

Locality eastern kings from Scott Koonts at Uwharrie Reptiles;
Outer Banks kings from Doug Mong; locality speckled kings from Split Rock Reptiles.

This guy is from Nick but its his Northern Dade locale. Point is if you go with Nick's animals you wont be dissapointed. He caught, bred and hatched his stock so they are as advertised.

Just "a few" suggestions:

Gray Banded Kings
Hwy. 277 low band count light bluish Blair's and alterna.
Sanderson dark and light Blair's and alterna.
Davis Mtns. speckled brownish alterna.
Hueco Mtns. light(almost white) alterna.
River Rd. Speckled high band count alterna.
Black Gap Highly variable Blair's and alterna.
This will cover almost any available look for Graybands but you might also want to include Langtry and Christmas Mtns. for good measure.

Getula
Normal brooksi.
Normal goini.
Black nigrita/splendida intergrades from extreme southern AZ.
Coastal brown and yellow striped and banded Cal Kings from Carlsbad, CA.
Desert black and white striped and banded Cal Kings from Scissor's Crossing(the only place where you can find both striped and banded phases in black and white colors.
Splendida from West TX/New Mexico.

Milksnakes
Normal and Tangerine phase Mexican Milks from the vicinity of Freer, Tx.
Utah taylori if any legal ones exist anymore???
A few localities of temporalis, should be easy enough for you to just collect some since you live right there, lol.

Pits
Northern Pines.
Black Pines.
Southern Pines(normal and patternless).
Giant bullsnakes from Hwy. 277.

Rats
Trans-Pecos Rats(orange phase normals, yellow phase normals and blonde phase) from River Rd.
Baird's Rats from Hwy. 277 or east of there.
Truly yellow Yellow Rats from south of Lake Okeechobee.
Cornsnakes from Oketee(sp?).

That would be a pretty good start. Later on you might think about some L. calligaster, Hognose, Indigos, Green Rats, pyros, zonata and an assortment of Gartersnakes and Rosy Boas.
