New Brooksi King

[ineedsoap16]

We just pickup up this little girl today. I really didn't know much about these guys but the wife has always been looking for them. Does anyone else keep them. They really are beautiful little buggers.

[Sapphyr]

[Freebody]

very nice, Grats. im looking forward to seeing more pics of that beauty as well.

I have 5 of them. They are beautiful snakes and that one you have is a looker!

[Marica]

Quite the colour contrast...stunning!

[crimsonking]

I have lots ;) that's going to be a nice adult too. They are my favorites as juveniles, when they still retain that color. As you know, she'll continue to lighten up as she ages. You'll love her I'm certain.

I"ve tried to get definitive pics of adults but with internet misinformation its tough. I ve gotten everything from Regular Florida's to cornsnakes, to milksnakes. Just interested in what a reddish baby might turn into. So if you have any pics, please post them.

juvenile that looked much like yours as a hatchling

mld, that is a hypomelanistic FL king (or it may be one of Rainer's morphs too) and not a "normal" FL (brooksi) king. It may be called "hi-red" but is not the reddest I've seen. At any rate, they lighten up most considerably.
Here's one I produced a few years back....though he's not the reddest either:)

[stephanbakir]

Kingsnakes are the ones that actively eat other snakes right?

[belovedboas]
