The Florida Alternans are my favorite of Alternans.I was at my local importer.
I was setting up some new imports.Someone walked in who wanted to sell
sell her.Thay were in florida city for the weekend and that were thay found
it.So for $10. I couldn't refuse it.She is missing 1 leg.But she will get it back
on her next molt.She is 6-1/2" and she still has alot of growing to do.I have 2 other florida S.A. that i've had for a couple of year.
But I forgot how aggressive and what great feeders thay are.This S.A. will
chase down what ever I throw in there.Thay are a orange pede without any
black band.The florida S.A. was the first pede I ever caught and kept.It was
in the early 1980's and I was hooked ever since.The are truely a great and
easy to keep pede.For Beginners or old pros.

Hi Dillon you gonna love them.I know Ken the bug guy has a couple of large
florida S.A's.for sale.If you never had 1 before.Thay can get really big and fat
I had 1 for 8 years and was over 9".But it died about 2 years ago.That was a
bad day for me.I felt like I lost my best friend that day.

I got hooked on heros years ago like you got hooked on S. A.s and probably never would have owned an S.A. if somebody wouldn't have given me a couple of babies. I like them too now. And like you said, they seem to be really good hunters and are fast. I think they are about 3 inches now. The ones I have are slightly banded.
