Apalachiola Lowland banded phase I think, but i'm not totally sure.

Correct, definitive taxonomy may still be up in the air, but it is what has been called (as Andy has said) Apalachicola lowland king, blotched king and/or Goin's kingsnake or "goini". Wonderfully variable and at any rate, a L. getula ssp. sometimes said to be eastern (L.g. getula) x Florida (L.g. floridana). Kenny Krysko has done much research on the snakes for a few years now.

Thank you Andy..

Mark, I was wondering just how long it would take you to reply :)

I've still gotta probe it. I might end up keeping it, not sure yet.

Renee, keep it and pair up with another. You'll be amazed at how many different looks you'll get in one clutch. I had a female that would produce clutches of 20 two times a year.

Or aka L. g. apalachicolae.

I suppose it would have been simpler for me to say Blotched King lol. I hope it retains those bands a lottle bit when it ages because thatmwould look really neat!

They are really cool snakes. I have a little girl myself. Can't wait to pair her up and for her to get bigger. I love Florida kings and this is one of the many varients/other species or what every those nutty guys with phd's decide!
