Freshly shed........

Here is another pic of an additional female I acquired from Len Krysko last year in Daytona. The three patternless females acquired were diminutive in size comparative to other blotched, Goini, Apalachicola or what have you offered by others (trying to be politically correct here so as to not have to continue with such trivial debates that seem to plague most discusions dealing with these fine herps).

Our acquisitons included a dozen assorted from several different breeders and these particular three were I would say approximately 60% smaller than others acquired. Although great feeders they could only handle the most tiniest of pinks, at first, that were being produced by our feeder group. They have since moved up to med - large pinks where as all the other kings acquired at that time are now on large fuzzy to hopper size mice.

It is said they will gradually lose their pattern as they mature. Although my pics at this time show very little of such small herps exhibited pattern I will continue to update you on this group by posting pics as they mature. Several have e-mailed me their interest and curiosity with these patternless kings. I hope the future pics posted as these kings mature answer all your questions.

Its one of those pretty much exhibiting a patternless black belly. Aside from the Sumatran and Lemke females though all the others exhibit a pretty much patternless belly in either yellow or black.
