A red banded Kingsnake? A friend has what she called a red banded kingsnake, and I am pretty new to snakes in general, but it looks like a grey-banded to me... Is there anything that looks like a grey-banded, but is called a red banded? Please help if you can. Thanks.

it would be news to me. I don't think you'll find anything that has that "official" name, that you'd find in any book. but people "give" names or nicknames to a lot of different types of animals and that could account for it, or it could be a simple misunderstanding.

My guess is that it is a misunderstanding and she doesn't know that it is. I asked her what exactly it was, and she said a Red Banded King... She said that is what she was told when she got them, she has two, not just one... so it worries me that she has snakes that people have not heard of... I want the snakes to recieve the best care, and without knowing what it is, she may not be providing correctly for it. I will see if I can get pictures and post them here for people to see, that way I can get some answers based on the pics. Thanks for the help though.

Post some pics of the aniaml in ? and we could id it for you. BTW nice name Iced Earth is one of my favorite bands "HorrorShow" is a classic. Nice quote as well but I am more partial to their self titled cd.

Iced Earth is my favorite band. I love them! I went to see them with Ripper in Hollywood a while back. I was sad I was never able to see them with Barlow, he was awesome, but Ripper didn't disappoint me in the least. Something Wicked is my favorite albulm of all time... Thanks for the comment! And I will try to get pics! Thanks!

Horrow Show??????? Everyone knows Dark Saga was the peak of Iced Earth's career. If you havent already, try some Dream Evil. Their latest album is the best 80's style metal to come out in years IMO.
