I was just seeing if anyone bred them. I know there not often bred for commerical purposes, but I was just wondering if anyone did it as a hobby for fun.

I have bred them off and on for fun, I usually find the brown and red phaes here in Florida.

Yea I catch a few red phase ones up here in NC, but recently someone here caught and released an albino, so I was just wondering if anyone was breeding species with any really rare color phases. Aren't the florida brown snakes protected?
