i was at a show and i saw something that was called a golgi kingsnake, is there anything that anybody can tell me about these?

Could it have possibly have been a Goini Kingsnke??..

.

thank you for the info. what is their common name or is it goini?

Some sources don't even designate Lampropeltis getula goini as a separate subspecies.............or instead they call it Lampropeltis getula meansi. Yet other just refer to it as Lampropeltis getula floridana.

I believe the Center for North American Herpetology designates the subspecies as L.g.meansi currently.

I believe the common name is the Apalachicola Kingsnake.

If I am incorrect on this, please someone politely call me out on it......as I have never fully understand the controversy regarding its/their taxonomy.

Yes, the common name is Apalachicola Kingsnake. Back in the 70s when I was into getula, these were the most desirable of all getula, hard to find and expensive. It nice to see that they are now affordable and plentiful. CB conservation at it's best.
