    Thanks for the compliments....and sorry about the files sizes. I'll try to fix anything else I post.

    Diana, do you mean these white brooksi?

    The first animal was the original, 15 year old female that made the line so popular. Unfortunately she passed away early this year. The second animal is one of her offspring from 2001. There are a few more floating around in the herp world, but it seems that most people have just let them disappear.

    Thanks again.

    Yep Brandon those are the ones.... I emailed you about these a couple months back... how the heck am I supposed to go about getting one of these? Do you have any comparison photos between this line and the anery lines and axanthic lines? I am rather confused by all these black and white looking Brooks. I just know this is what I saw first and what I decided I want.

    Diana, these are actually just normal brooksi. My original adults came from Lloyd Lemke over 15 years ago. They were normals het for axanthic and axanthic. The Lemke and NE axanthics are blue/purple and black. As adults, they take on a powder-blue/purple color with very faded gray pattern. The black and white axanthic line tends to be very brown and dirty looking as adults. Babies aren't really much to look at either. Anery and axanthic are interchangable within the discription for brooksi. In my opinion, the blue-purple animals are a combination of both genes. Still one of my favorite snakes of all time. Here's one I created a few years ago. I just have to get him to reproduce now. Pictures really don't do him any justice. He is BLUE!

    This one has been a 7 year project so far.
