OK guys, I bought a 1.1 pair of these from Glades Herps last month. Thisis the female - the male looks just like her except he is paper thin. I hit both of them with the 1st of three .15 ml doses of panacur on Friday am going to give them a dose of Flagyl tomorrow.

Both are obviously wild caught ([removed]). The guy from Glades assured me that they are wild caught South Carolina - any specific thoughts from you experts on locale?

They are black and yellow. They have an almost solid black belly. I will post a pic of that next.

By the way - both are ravenous feeders and she weighs 482 grams - so if everything goes well I should have some babies next year.

Thanks for your help,
Peter Jolles

...a little further southwest into GA and the SE Alabama area? Compare Hillson's Dale Co., Alabama specimen to it (Dale Co. is about 20-30 miles from it's SE border to both Florida and Georgia). My Pender Co., NC male I got from Hillson via another guy had similar bands but they were white.

A nice snake regardless and congrats!

But how does Glades Herp know it came from SC? Not to knock Glades Herp. but they don't have the best reputation with some serious herpetologists in Florida as well as other nearby states where people are active in the field. I lived down there and have spent enough time in that part of Florida to have seen many, many Easterns in large herp-oriented pet shops from either GA or SC/NC (judging from all the Easterns that I've seen/owned and the up and up folks on this site) that I was assured were from a certain location...problem is they could never prove it.

purchased a south carolina c.b. Eastern (daytona 2001) that had a solid black belly, solid white bands without breaks. I moved into a smaller place on the beach and she was downsized out of my collection.
Kicking myself over and over!
I would buy her back many times what I sold her for.
Thank you for sharing the pics.
