Hey Thomas, this snake has been proven out. I got the first group offered for sale and Terry Vandeventer was the guy who got the project off the ground. I will do my best to write about the history of the snake asap. It is an interesting story for sure. ttyl Tom Stevens

Bruce is da man!!!!!!!!! Those flicks are great ttyl Tom Stevens

Im not implying anything but I find it quite remarkable how identical those are to the Whitesided Brooksi. I know the WS Speck has been around longer as its in the Bechtel book which has been around for quite sometime. Very strange and also a beautiful snake !

Hey Keith, of course they're very similar but the Brooksi have the chain pattern on the back and Specks do not. I can't say every Brooksi does but some sure do. I have a feeling you know the history of this snake, but I am going to d my best to write it up and post it asap. Terry Vandeventer told me it in detail before I bought my group from him but I don't speak to him very often and didn't save the story... I want to do my best to get it right the first time. Since I first posted this snake online months ago 1 out of every 10 people tries to shut it down as a cross.....it is not. I know I am a hobbiest working my way into full breeder status but that should not automatically draw negative remarks about a new[yes I know the original snake is over a decade old] project. The "that snake is not new!"neckheads that emailed me last time could not give me the name of ANYONE who owned some. This is why I do not post pics of it often. It is a great snake, and a cool project, and I feel very lucky to be in on it. I asked about buying some a few times and Terry said not yet as he intended to keep these. I emailed him about buying some other snakes and mentioned these and just by chance he had just decided to let the group go. I jumped on em and bought them immediately. I will write more about the snake asap. Tom Stevens

Still awesome every time I see the pic. Remember to hold on to some for me.

You know it bro. Your at the top of the list with a few other good friends. I wish these grew like Brooksi! They are just not the same eating machines, but i am sure it will be worth the wait. Not too mention breeding them at 3 years will be better than psuhing them on thier second year. Tom Stevens
