These were produced by Jason Hood of Snakes Unlimited. The father is a wild Madison Co., Florida animal and the Mom was collected just north of Lake City near I75.

She's outstanding, LOVE the blue-black on her! She's gonna be a real looker when she gets big. The male is nice too, and so is that Spartanburg SC one. FYI, I spent a good deal of my youth in the Spartanburg area (12-18), went to Greenville quite a bit too and although I did see kings here and there I never saw one as nice as that. But she does have the right colouring for the area, brings back memories!

I think the most beautiful easterns I've ever seen, and those that stick in my memory the most are the ones from my childhood growing up in Shelby Co, NC. We lived way out of the town (new prospect Church Rd if u wanna go look lol) a good 1/4 mile off the paved road, we had a long gravel driveway they used to lay on at night and sometimes used to sun themselves on the concrete turn-around in front of the garage, even IN the garage on occasion! Our house was surrounded by woods on 2 sides and by horse pastures on the others. I remember watching one particular snake year after year, he was HUGE, jet back with thin bright yellow bands, I often wonder if he's still there. I've already told my husband, I'm going herping there to see what I can see, probably next year late spring/summer. Care to join me? lol!

Hey Keith I am glad you like my animals and thanks for the free press by including my name. I got some calls because of your post here so I guess I owe you a discount or something next year Lol. I hope you enjoy those guys and next year I should have even nicer animals from the two other females that didn't go this year that I told you about. I will try to get some pics of those and the parents of your animals to you soon.
Thanks Jason
