And anyone one else who loves FL kings. Finally ended up with a half decent shot after experimenting with different lighting to show her true colours. Male's in shed Mark. Will get an updated pic of him soon enough. He's brilliant! :D

Looking very nice and looks like she is a good size too. Thanks for sharing the photo - always great to appreciate the different varieties of these,

Hold the presses.

That pic does nothing for her colour! And the male, oh he is SO PRETTY.

Glad I got my goini or I'd be coveting yet MORE of Vanan's snakes.

Maybe CrimsonKing can tell us more about this beautiful phase of FL intergrade kings! :D Maybe a pic or two of your adult female? ;)

http://photos.herphost.com/albums/userpics/mscales1a.JPG Vanan, a close friend coined the name "mahogany" to describe the color in the center of the bands that on some will be much more intense than others. He started with a wc female that was saved from a lawnmower cut believe it or not. In our area (Tampa FL.) the king is said to be the peninsula intergrade king (L.g. getula X L.g. floridana). Anyway, he and I have bred them to get as much of the color as we can. I really like the juveniles as the color starts to come in. I just parted with my keeper pair from this year and their heads and faces have lots of brown highlights. I bet they turn out gorgeous. This pic shows some of the colors we're talking about on a mature animal. Nothing earth shattering for sure. Just a bit "different":)

Dunno about being brownish eventually as this guy's only been getting redder and lighter. The male mahog, post-shed.
