hi
i am very new to the forum world and am seeking some help with a kingsnake rescued from an owner who just didnt care for the snake.

I am unsure as to the type of kingsnake, at the moment bordering on speckled, spotted and mole, but of all the kingsnake pics i have looked at i cannot find any the same as mine. (will post pics soon as i figure out how!)

Brief description,

Brown coloured with no stripes(ruling out banded) chocolate type brown on lower half of body and dark brown over 2/3rds. Cream underside with offset dark brown checkor pattern.

I would also like advice on old wounds as this snake was kept in an enclosure with a bare lightbulb hanging at one end, resultin in some burns and lost scales,(mostly healed or black looking) nearly all of wich are over the last half of his length (4 1/2ft ) and aparantly around 2yrs, sex unknown.
