The difference between the snake above and a speckled king is the individual scale pattern. While goini may appear somewhat similar to speckleds, they are distinctly different. Where speckled kings have a single center spot on every scale, goini have a cross cut spot that covers about half of the scale in yellow and the other half black.



Another interesting feature of goini is the variability of color and pattern within a single clutch of animals.
