Kingsnake hybrid... can this be done?

servalmomma07 Aug 21, 2009 01:06 PM

Two questions... I have searched everywhere to find any kind of California Kingsnake x Florida Kingsnake hybrids... nothing so far! I have a Florida King and an Albino Cali King, they are together and getting along (neither are aggressive towards eachother or other snakes). The Florida King is the female, they are the same length and of breeding age/size. The female Florida King has laid eggs that were fertile from a male Florida King. Does anyone have any knowledge on this or photos of the hybrid? Any information would be greatly appreciated... My other question is... Once the eggs are laid (I have an incubater) what temp and/or humidity should they be kept at and how long do they take to hatch? Again I appreciate any information anyone has on these subjects!!

Thanks,
ServalMomma07 (Jessica)

I actually did that cross last year. I bred a brooks to an albino striped cal-king. The babies looked amazingly similar to eastern chain kings. Makes you wonder if some of the "pure" snakes aren't hybrids to begin with.

You should keep your eggs as close to 82 degrees and 100% humidity as possible.

I'm not a fan of this cross, but these two snakes have been bred together many times.
