Nice! Do you have pics of any adult size? I keep an '05 Speckled female that's still rather small when compared to pics of your yearling. I'm guessing she was hatched late Sept., maybe early Oct., as I've heard these guys are hatched in the fall. How big do these guys top out @? I think that was you w/ the male Sinaloan as well. Speckleds are another snake I don't see much out here on the West Coast. I've only ever seen large/adult Speckleds in pics.

I only have a pair of yearlings. I've never seen a really big speckled. Although I'm no expert, I've read that they are one of the smaller races of kings with males topping out at 4' or less with females being even smaller. Of course that's just on average. Also their range is so expansive that I would imagine there could be size differences from different localities. Here's my female (I posted this pic a few days ago). As you can see she's much smaller than the male, and alot brighter yellow. Don.
