I wanted some info on different kingsnakes and most of the links dont work here on kingsnake..Is there a site that talks about the different species, personalities and care requirements?

Im really interested in getting into kingsnakes.I cant figure out which kinds I like most.I know for sure I want what I think is called a speckled kingsnake or a mexican black.I dont want morphs, just natural looking kings.
This site has been a bit of a help but doesnt talk about care.But wow what a variety, how do you choose?

If you want a rarely seen, non-morph gem of a kingsnake, click on the fourth photo from the top of the page you just posted(South Florida Mole kingsnake), and you will see one that I used to own many years ago before they were ever known in the hobby at all. They are an extremely uncommon snake to see offered, yet there are some breeders I know that work with these on a steady basis, so they ARE available if you know where to look.

Choose a king that appeals to you, like appearance, etc. Common kings are very hardy, specks are very nice kings as are blk mexican kings. Just depends on what you like in a kingsnake? The sub forums might help you out on diet, housing, health and the related links on articles and care sheets.

Could you give me a heads up as to what articles dont work? I went to the features site and as best I can tell they all still work fine. If there are broken links somewhere I want to fix them.
