herps Jun 10, 2011 07:06 PM

I got these kings from the same place I got my so called anery desert kings which not thanks to DMong I now know they are axanthic, I wanted to make sure that these were truly Florida Kings. one has a crazy pattern on its back and they both have some nice red coloring to them.

Does anyone interested in hybrids have, or know where I can get, detailed information on cross breeding kings with corns?

They look like Floridas to me. The one has some pin stripes which is cool. Good luck with them.

Yeah, they look to be all floridana. They will lighten and speckle-up considerably on their darker inter-banding as they mature. The red they are now displaying will gradually give way to shades of beige to yellow color.

If you saw the parents it might give you some sort of good idea of what they might look like later on. Those will change DRASTICALLY as they mature, so take some nice shots now of them, and compare them to pics as they mature.

Just watch, you won't even think they are the same snakes when you compare the pics in two years.

good luck with those guys!
