Heres some vid of what appear to be 2 female? Florida Kings

The smaller of the 2 appears to be a little over 4ft and the bigger is shy of 5ft by about 2 inches. They were on Craigs list. The prior owner said they had them for 8yrs -so I figure they must be in the 9-12yr old range.

Those are actually Apalachicola Lowland kingsnakes(formerly L.g.goini), aka "Blotched kingsnakes", recently relegated to "L.g.meansi", and not true Florida kings(L.g.floridana).

But they ARE native to Florida!
