I recall you from MANY years back. You still in the Prescott area? Still confounding average Herpers with your field herping experience that spans decades?

Florida King? I thought so, too, for a long time, but I don't agree. One main hallmark of FL Kings is the orange or red traces. Mine has none. Plus, I have seen Speckleds which are similar in appearance. (You know how variable Kings can be, even in a given locale.)

Dealer from whom I bought him is well established in the area, and he said that he knows & trusts the Original Breeder who sold the snake as a Speckled.

I have Brian Hubbs' Common Kingnskakes book, so I can refer again to each species sections for more guidance, but what SPECIFIC traits shall I look for to verify
