    Help what species of king is this?
    I got her at the expo I have her at 84 right now and try to keep it at 37% humidity is that right for basic king care but I really need help with the species identification or locality. So I know specific care for it. Here's a pichttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/17/gutu3ygu.jpg

    It is pretty hard to understand what you are saying in this message but I think you say this bulb broke from a ball pythons tank? If that's so you should be using a heat mat for them anyways not a light. They do better with belly heat. Toss the bulb and get a UTH.

    It doesn't look like a calking. It might be, but I'd be more inclined to go with blotched. I'd be even more inclined, though, to go with hybrid.

    Semi confusing thread here. Why was the breeder/seller at the expo not able to give you the species and specific care requirements? That is not acceptable IMO. It sounds like you now have it figured out though?? Good luck, I hope you get everything figured out and can get the husbandry dialed in. Nice looking snake too. !!!

    Yeah I find it strange when people say they bought a reptile and then come to a site to ask what kind or morph it is. It is understandable if it is bought from a random person but I see people who bought them from breeders or stores still ask. You would think they would know before purchasing.

    I recently saw a thread on this site asking if a snake might have been a purebred or a cross and it showed a pic. Later the poster stated which it was and that it was a breeders snake who was a friend of his. If it was a friend I don't see why you would come ask here instead of just asking the friend to begin with.
