Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I had seen a photo of a speckled kingsnake awhile ago.I have not been able to find out anything about them,and there seems to be none for sale.Are they under a different reference name?I see that alot of reptiles are listed under their latin names.I'd appreciate any infor.Thanks

This photo is what I am looking for..

I wish I could find this in the classifieds

Speckled king or sometimes called the salt & pepper king. Lampropeltis g. holbrooki. There a easy snake to find, just keep looking under the breeder section and classifieds, you'll find'em!

I didn't see any in the classifieds either,...but there should be plenty of hatchlings available this summer!..........I saw a list that "ISIS REPTILES" had from last year, and they had some "Lloyd Lemke" stock "holbrooki"!!!......I would check them out FIRST!!, and then go from there.......................Doug

Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open mouth and remove any doubt!

for a minute.... the season is barely ramping up. you'll be seeing plenty of speckled kings in the classifieds in a few months..

they're a very underrated snake. i really dig the lavender ones..

Thanks-I just wasn't sure if I was missing them under a different name listing!

Just take your time and you'll find one your looking for. You'll even find some knockout adults from time to time. Here's an 06 I picked up not too long ago on the KS. classifieds. This gorgeous female came from Ben Siegel Reptiles.

Sometimes they are listed as holbrooki - which is the latin subspecies name.

You also might want to contact Tom Stevens- he breeds them, and has some of the nicest around. I think I overheard him say that his breeders were at it not too long ago... might even have some left over from '06.

Tom Stevens of tomssnakes.com breeds speckled kings, he even has a white sided morph that is strikingly beautiful. His normals are also very nice, with really nice speckling.
