FL-X-BLOTCHED? anyone disagree?

same snake

Could also be a Eastern X brooksi. . . i have seen some that looked like that, but it IS possible that it's a goini X brooksi if the goini's bands wern't too extereme. . . You WILL know after the first twelve months!

Thanks, I appreciate your knowledge.

looks floridani (lets say)maybe one of those dark Okeechobee Monsters"with maybe some south florida blood. generally the floridani are dark animals with the exception of the brooks phase which I know are found in extreme south fla. and ive heard south west fl. all the to Tampa. just my hypothesis Chris

Who knows? I hope time satisfies my curiosity. This animal was purchased as a "red blotched king" what ever that is, as you can see the red blotches are gone now,LOL.

Here's a red blotched king. I'd say it could be easter x floridana or blotched x floridana.

Thanks for your opinion, and thanks for posting the pic i always love to see your animals!

veryveryvery nice i may have to get some of those next year man thats nice,,,,,thomas

And you know this because you bred the parents? Or are you going on looks alone? On looks alone this snake looks like it has NO blotched. (just my opinion of course)

NO! i didn't breed parents, somebody suggested that the animal may be a goini-X-florida. For now i'll call it an intergrade. thanks for your .02, lol.

btw here's a blotched

It doesn't look like an integrade with a blotched/goini/apalachicola. Just my opinion of course. I used to have an integrade (non-pure) apalachicola and crossed him to my apalachicola, the babies were super distinctive. The snake pictured here looks closer to my integrade floridana/eastern hatchlings. But again, just my opinion. Nice lookin snake nonetheless

I thought eastern-X-fla, but several seem to think blotched-X-fla. nobody knows ,just matter of opinion for now, maybe time will tell. thanks

>>just matter of opinion for now, maybe time will tell. thanks

You said it!

In any case a beautiful animal, which to me is the final analysis.... does it spark the cues in my mind that make me label it beautiful. The apalachicola DO that, and to a lesser extent the eastern and floridana.

you should see my monster "Pandora"... I'll attach my latest photo which doesn't really show her HUGENESS and beauty, she's gorgeous! Now if I only had a mate for her!

Here's an 03' sub-adult gettin out of the red stage. Are your's psycho? mine will attack anything that moves even when i walk past their tubs they try to get me,lol!

This being a New Jersey eastern king crossed with a blotched king, taken off the non-locality page of Hillson's site.

While there is all this speculation of it being a cross, it's look is still within the range of what you'd call a Florida king.

YES! i see a resemblance, THANKS!
