All the history aside they just don't look right. I have held thousands of easterns. This strain just does not fill the bill in any way, shape (physical) or form (temperament) characteristics of a pure eastern or any florida subspecies.



I have a strain of T negative yellow florida king that I have been breeding. I paid a large sum for what I thought was a valid new morph on the only avliable parents out there. The history checks also out on these from 3 very reputable breeders. I still have my doubts and have called up everyone associated with these and they all attest and assured me they are pure floridana.



I would have liked that they are the real deal to but my doubts are stronger than any amount of reason and history. It is a sense I have with working with a species for a very long time.. I guess I could have turned a deaf or dumb ear to what I knew was true and make some money. But that would have been dishonest to the lowest degree.



They must be crossed to what i think started as an amelanistic cal king was bred to a florida kingsnake. The 50/50 cross was then bred back to a pure florida king several times. So today they could be 10% cali and 90% floridana or who knows?.



I have decided to change the name on these to albino Florida Lemon kings. To match the name given by Florida residents who have been crossing florida kings with calif kings for eyons of generations. My stock does look better than the normal lemon kings that I have seen at countless smaller florida reptile shows but that doesn't mean they aren't the same thing.



So until someone comes up with a better name Albino Lemon florida kingwill do.
