A speckled king baby/juvenile will be black with yellow to pale yellow crossbanding on its back and some speckling on the sides. The head will be way different than a racer, smaller eyes and a more blunt appearance. As they age into adult hood the crossbanding disappears and is replaced by a yellow spot on each scale. Hence, speckled king. Here is a pic of my sub-adult speckled king...
