unknown king sp'

gizzy20001 Mar 05, 2012 04:27 PM

I just had this king brought to me last night along with a pair of ball pythons (separate enclosures) anyways, I feel off even having to ask but I have no clue what species of morph I am looking at here. it is a beautiful animal and very well tempered but I have not come across another like this.

sorry for the blurred images but it was in no hurry to sit still the spots do not reach all the way around, the belly scales are black

Looks like a splendida, or "desert kingsnake".

Definitely a Desert kingsnake (L.g.splendida) as the others mentioned.

Look familiar?..

Do you still have those Doug? Is that one of yours? Nice example regardless.
