I think all the Dry`s are beautiful spectacular awesome snakes. i have Easterns, TX, BT`s, YT`s & Uni`s all great snakes. they have an alertness & curiosity that most species dont have.

For me personally there is something about a large black snake that is especially impressive & TX are just as gorgeous as Easterns, some also have quite a bit of pink color on their throats & necks.

As far as black phase to red phase, who cares? they are all stunning.
