Here is another picture of my kingsnake. Any help in identifying her would be great. I'm not sure if she's a brooksi, a speckled kingsnake, of some type of intergrade.

It's hard to tell from that pic, but it looks like an axanthic brooks. Is there any yellow or red on that snake?

Her darker scales have shades of brownish red in them.

Its not an axanthic. You probably would have paid more if it was.

Its still hard to tell by the pic if its a floridana or some king of intergrade.

I think that she is an intergrade. Her lighter scales are cream colered, and her darker scales dark brown. Her sides are like a speckled kingsnake's, but she has short stripes along her back like a brooksi. She cost only 80$ so I dob't think she's axanthic.

She looks like a Brooksi and not a reg florida King. Brooksi get lighter with age and yours looks to be a year old or younger. Its no speckled that you can be assured of. From your description its a Florida King probably a Brooksi.
