I was at a reptile show about a month ago, and I've been meaning to ask about this snake.

I saw a very tiny snake, maybe 10 inches long, it looked like a baby black rat snake, it was for sale for very cheap... I think maybe 25 dollars. But the tubs they were in were not labeled. So I asked the vendor, what are these young snakes and he said that they are False King Cobras. He went on telling me that these are hatchlings and that they can grow up to 11 feet long and they're indeed ratsnakes and they can hood sideways like a False water cobra. And that the babies he had were the only captive born False Kings in the world, because they are rare and they have awful personalities when found in the wild. He said his buddy owned the mating pair that produced the young, and that the parents were wild caught and very "pissy" as he put it. He also said that when they are older, they look exactly like a King Cobra. I think I recall myself giving a sceptical look.
But he reassured me that the snakes he had were indeed False king cobras.
But if they were a large, rare, colubrid, wouldn't they be more money? Especially for hatchlings? That's not my point really.... my point, or rather, question, is whether or not these snakes are real. Is there a such thing as a False King Cobra?
