Just got this beauty.....suggestions

xblackheart Feb 11, 2006 01:02 AM

I just got this snake recently. I was told it was a blotched king. All the pics that I have seen of blotched, are not nearly as colorful as this little girl. Can anyone tell me for sure if that is what she is? Also was wondering what they normally sell for.

I've seen blotched that look like your snake and i've seen easterns that look like it too, so your guess is as good as anyone else, or you can go with what the seller told you.
$50-$75 sometimes higher/sometimes lower

Could be a blotched for sure. I had many that looked similar in the past. He should lighten up considerably with age.
Around $25. for hatchlings is my guess.

Jetzen, the blotched king in the first pic is one of my favorites that I've seen in your collection. Where did you pick up that beauty from?

Look like a typical Blotched and they are variable when it comes to pattern as well as color. Here are a few that look to be the same age as yours.

Looks like a goini to me. The coloration and pattern just seems a bit off to be a eastern(even a GA locale). You could probably get $50 for it.
