Hi Ross,...

The guy that claims it is a "Florida king" is very incorrect, and so is the person regarding it being a splendida, although it certainly DOES have strong splendida INFLUENCE in it's lineage. That is most DEFINITELY a subspecific cross involving a Desert king (L.g.splendida). It could even be an Eastern x splendida, or dark Florida x splendida, but it is not any ONE particular subspecies. I'd like to see the rest of them that this guy claims to be "Florida kings"..LOL!...forget about it!

I see tons of splendida characterictics in it's solid black, somewhat "sock head" type head marking and the yellow snout and labial markings and also the very intermediate body pattern and coloring.

No doubt at all that's a splendida cross.
