Favorite Kingsnake Species?

[Bloodborn25]

You know the locality of that blotched king up there you have. I just got one Saturday at the expo from bhb reptiles. It's a girl not to old very young just ate a pinkie today when I brought her home. Anyway what's the exact care for this type? I've looked everywhere and haven't found one like her till I seen your post and all, she's at 78.6F and 34% humidity she's my first king so I looked up basic king care and try to keep humidity at that level. So can you give me a care sheet on these types heres a pic of her thanks if you can help me! :3

Battleborn, my guess is your snake is a cali king. Which morph I do not know, perhaps a banana of some sort. Someone with more knowledge of morphs would know better.

The temperature you list, is that cool side or warm side? Warm side should be up around 88 degree mark.

Gratz on the new little one.

Here is a care sheet for these guys: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...californiae%29

Lol blood but it ok. Um again not sure, if it's a cali. are blotched kings the same as them? Ya that is the front/cool side the back is her hot. At 86.7 right now she looks so much like the one skulls has but just smaller that's why I asked if he know what species our that his was.

ermm. Sorry about that. Eyes are playing tricks or something.


There's a high probability of it being a cali king morph. After that maybe a brooksi morph. IMO.

What is your favorite kingsnake species? And why?

I have to go local on this one and say scarlet kings(L. elapsoides) for their amazing colors followed closely by good old florida kings(L. g. floridana) because stumbling upon a large individual is a rare treat and unforgettable.

My favorite is Speckled (Holbrooki). I've always wanted one, but they're not that commonly captive-bred. I'm sort of partial to chain kings of any kind. I've had a few Easterns and a Florida Peninsula Intergrade that were catch and release.

I picked up this Speckled beauty today at Repticon Atlanta ...
