Peanut Butter Brooks. You can see why this forum members back when these first popped out choose that name (I asked what to call this morph since the "hypo" name was already taken). They voted for several different names suggested and the winning name to call these was Peanut Butter brooks-I did not choose the name ,LOL!!) The original PB"s definetely showed the coloration of Peanut Butter. Of course, with outcrossing today, the colors have changed a bit with the Peanut Butters and we get a variance in the ones seen today.

A 2003 baby with higher red.. Clutches came out from light to dark and everything inbetween. As do most Florida king clutches.. with females usually being the darker color.

Just thought I would throw this in e in as well.

One of the original Sulfur lavender Florida kings. Pic is from 2003 as an adult.

a clutch of sulfur lavenders and Sulfur snows. The "sulfur" is just a line trait. Not a recessive trait.. juts the lavender is a recessive. The sulfur line originated from a high yellow Florida king owned by Len Krysco he called a "school bus yellow king" :

The sulfur lavender is amazing. I also like that first PB with less red.

Do you think the Sulphurs have a low band count & is this due to being possible intergrades?

Recessive traits effect pattern in Florida kings.. Look at the hypos.. they have lines, squigles, no pattern, ect.. but the hets are always classic floridana looking..

Also these are not mixed with anything.. pure Florida kings.

Unless you meant the intergrade zone in Florida which extends down 300 miles into Florida from the GA and AL border. DNA shows the only true "floridana" are south Florida.

So most of Florida is an intergrade zone even though field guide and range maps show different.. what people do is go by site and how the snake looks.. but Dr. Kryscos DNA thesis does not lie.
