It's been a while since I posted any pics so I thought I'd post something. This is a pair of San Luis Potosi Kingsnakes that I think have a unique look with their abundant split saddles and their serrated blotches and heavy black borders. They are from the Galvan bloodline out of Texas. John Lassiter also has pair from this bloodline, actually his female is the mother of the female pictured here and a sibling to the male, also pictured here. I hope this bloodline becomes better established in captivity since I think they offer some unique characteristics and not too many people I know of have them.

There is also some question as to whether they may be of the same bloodline that originated the speckled, aka Granite, mex mex and hopefully the breedings I have planned, as well as those of John, will shed some light on this. My Galvan female is not big enough to breed this year but I am going to put the male Galvan on a female Lemke line black phase and see what I get and hopefully next year I can breed the Galvan male with the Galvan female. I'll post a picture of the Lemke black phase next.
