Reptile & Amphibian Forums

How do I post a picture on this forum? I see the
"Image URL" section below the text box but haven't posted a picture here before so I don't know how to use it (I would like to get forum input on an aberrant pattern Florida Kingsnake).

Thanks,

Tim

You look above where there are a lot of different links for different areas of the site and choose the PHOTOGALLERY. there it will let you log in and upload your pictures which must be smaller than 800x600 I think. THen when you post you will see your picture in the box below and you can click on it to add it to your post. You can also choose preview to see how your post looks with the pic before you choose POST. Hope this helps

I figured it out -- here are a couple of pictures:

And here is an overview next to a typical Florida King (sorry it's a little blurry -- I plan to take this picture again but you can see the basic pattern difference in this shot):

Is this pattern a "known" cross/hybrid currently being produced or something new?

Thanks,

Tim

Just wanted to post the correct title now that the photos are up (please see the thread above this one)

The snake doesn't look that unusual to me. The stripe between the first and second cross bands behind the head seems to be fairly common, at least in the kings I've caught, I may even be able to find a picture later. He's got a pretty high band count, and a lot of his crossbands connect to his side bands (kind of like an Eastern/Chain king), which looks cool. It's a neat look for a Florida king, especially compared to the normal. I have caught 3 or 4 in the past few years that could be a twin to that one, though.

OK -- thanks for the input. I tried counting his cross-bands and it looks to be just a little over 80. I also posted this on the "Field Notes & Observations" forum and got a reply about the wide variety of color variations in Lake "O" area kings, so now I'm really intrigued with the potential there to see some really cool patterns/diversity.

If you have any pictures of Lake "O" Fla. kings, please feel free to post as I would really like to see more of the types found there.

Here's a real nice 60" male I saw two years ago:
