Is there such thing as albino speckled king?

I have seen pics of some supposed albino speckled kings, but they don't look like speckled kings to me. They definitely don't have one speck per scale, and usually have bands similar to a florida king as adults. Just curious.

Thanx

in fact there are two types of Amel. Speckled kings

Lavender albino (ruby eyed)

and T- Albino (red/pink eyed)

both have been around for a while now

Yup! I had a couple, but ended up giving them to a friend of mine. They're REAL beauties. Kinda wish I had held on to them instead of giving them away.

What a sad thought in this season if giving... LOL.

I have yet to see one that actually looks like a speckled. It seems they all have retained their juvie patterns into adulthood.

Thanx

There is a very awesome pic of an adult in this one kingsnake book I have... Made the snake look so nice that I decided to get into speckled kings LOL.

Go in the photo gallery and look at pics by SerpentBoy. He had a couple adult albinos...
