Hi Ameron,
Awhile back I was looking into some speckled kings, and I did get 1 of them so far. Great kings! Luckily I found some breeders with speckleds from different localities, so I was able to see some variation. While the "DPI" of speckles and the intensity of yellow will surely differ across the range, in no way did any of them resemble a Florida king close enough for me to question it. Some speckled kings can resemble desert kings (spendida). But, speckled kings look sufficiently different from Florida kings. The differences are readily apparent in hatchlings and adults. Inbetween, they still look different to me. Head shape, girth, pattern - sufficiently different.
