Hello
Im not sure what you mean . Do you mean a Eastern King with a high crossbar count like a Floridana ?

That's a wild looking snake. Could you provide some background on these? I hadn't heard of them before.

Mosaic Kings are simply Eastern Kings with a pattern anomoly. They are found on Edisto Island of the coast of South Carolina. Mostly normal ones are found on the Island and the Mosaics in the wild are pretty rare but do pop up . The original animals came from a serpentarium there and Kevin Enge and another guy (Ricky Walters) bred their animals together last year and these animals are the result. The adult female on my site is the mother to this snake posted.

Hello Keith,
Great pictures! These look very similar to Blotched Kings. Have you seen the picture on snakesandfrogs.com of another blotched individual found elsewhere in S.C?
