They aren't really "classified" scientifically per se like a subspecies is, but rather are simply known as a rare natural "morph" of Florida king in most all literature.
They can definitely be found in the same areas as the other two pure forms(getula-floridana) as well. Not a whole lot of science is devoted to these snakes other than they are highly prized by folks that appreciate their rarity and uniqueness.
They are certainly the rarest of all the naturally found Florida king morphs, and a close second would of course be the "meansi" getula in the Franklin/Liberty county area of the Florida panhandle.
