speckled kings tend to be smaller than other common kings (around 36 inches as adults). Do not place the speckled near the corn (dif. rooms) until its health has been proven, so not to get the corn ill. Nice looking snake!

thanks i need to remesure it if av lengh is 36 i mes at 38 1/2

Speckled Kings do tend to be smaller, but in the Mississippi Delta they can be a robust 5' with rather different looking, striking pattern. Terry Vandeventer has seen, and has a gorgeous snake from this area.

And Speckleds do occur in N. Arkansas all the way to at least northern Missouri.
