Hello all fellow snake lovers,

I just went to a exotic reptile show to buy my first ever snake. I've wanted a kingsnake for awhile now, and after seeing hundreds of snakes I got to talking to one snake breeder who seemed legit.

So I bought the snake and brought him home and set up his tank and all that jazz. Looking at the container I bought him in though, it is labeled "Lavendar Anerythrist" (lavender spelt wrong)

However, when I google "anerythrist" all I get are cornsnakes. cornsnakes. cornsnakes. (I wanted my king!!)

Was I jipped? Or did I just happen to snag a rare king? The little guy (named Orion) is gorgeous none-the-less but I don't want the sour taste in my mouth knowing I actually bought a cornsnake.

Here's a low-quality picture of him in my (sexy) hand taken with my cell phone. I can get good digital pics soon if they are needed to help identify.

Thank you so much for any future assistance!!
