I'am from Tucson, Az. Anyway, I also lived in Fla. and they do not have to have red traces or any red at all. Some do, mainly neonates.
Remember, all I have to go by is your pictures, which are not very good. But, from your pics, that is a Fla. king.
Heres the deal, when working with snakes, the first thing you do is take PEOPLE out of it. It doesn't matter who you got it from, or what breeder it was. That is not the point. The point is, what is that snake. All your doing is prejudicing yourself.
Having seen lots of holbrooki, Dang if I lived in their range too. Holbrooki have totally different head markings and even shape. The body markings on your snake is text book, wild Fla. king. But hey, I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
As I mentioned, it would be great If others would help out. How about finding Hubbs and asking him.
Or Bluerosy? Best wishes
