I have recently adopted a Florida, or blotched kingsnake. He's 3 years old, very mellow and named TJ. I don't have too many specific questions yet because I just picked him up last weekend. Mostly I just wanted to post to introduce him.


What I am wondering is if anybody on here has kept this particular kind of kingsnake and if they have any advice or tips of any kind. Oh and here he is:

I have a 2010 Florida/Brooks. There isn't really much to them. They're eating machines and they're quite active. Husbandry is pretty much identical to a Cornsnake - easy peasy :)

That type of kingsnake is from Florida, but its common name is not Florida kingsnake. That type of kingsnake is found in the panhandle of Florida and goes by a few different names, the Blotched kingsnake is one of them. They are awesome kingsnakes, and IMO, way cooler than Florida kingsnakes.

Thanks! I knew that is was called a blotched, and Appalachiola is long to keep typing but I was unaware that a Fla Kingsnake was a separate thing, so it's good to know.
