Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Are there any breeders currently working with Prairie Kingsnakes? They're a beautiful species but I never hear about them on the forums or see them in the ads.

Hey bud,

Hope all is well with the new addition!

I do have a pair of albino prairie kings. but, i am not sure i am going to keep them because I really want to focus more on alterna...

I decided my old sig was too big.

Thanks guys!

I was very happy to be able to add these to my collection. To answer some of your questions.. They are pure Alterna that are the end result of many years of selective breeding and they are non-local..

I posted the female above, here is the male to go along with her. A little blurry but you get the idea!

~ Mike Russo

he is stunning! i really like the male. but nothing beats the grantie!

After some grief/input from fellow alterna keepers.. These are now being called "Speckled Alterna"!

~ Mike Russo

ah speckled it is. these are pretty!

In my opinion nothing beats the clasic blairs phase alterna!

~ Mike Russo

Clasic = Classic

Someday i will learn to spell without using spell check!

Well that is just striking. Do you have a closeup of his head?

1.0 Kisatchie Cornsnake

Prairie kings are one of he most underrated snakes out there.
I have had mine for years and really like the normals just as much as albinos. Like many kings, they often look their best as yearling/sub adults.
Mine are sort of maroon saddled on a golden ground color and the albinos are cherry red on a cream ground color.

I have a trio, 1.2, of albinos that are breeding right now. I've been cycling the male with each of the girls, with a few days off in between. Looks like one has taken, so we'll know in a little bit of time.

I have this proven adult pair, and will be breeding in the next month or two.
