Just curious what you guys would call these two guys. all I know is one is a cali. king and the other is a Florida king

this is not true to color. found him at petsmart.

this is close to true color and he has white outlined on all scales

he is from a flame and hypo Florida king. kind of wondering if the female had retained sperm from another male.

any suggestions on a name would be great. the cali is a very gently curious snake while the florida is a spit fire who wants to take over the world.

Looks like the first is albino cali king. The second is a hypo brooks king.

I disagree with reptile dude, I think that is a normal brooksi with high red/orange. A hypo is almost all Browns/oranges and reds. Source: had a normal het for hypo and a hypo hatchling pair back in the day.

But too be honest some of the high red normals are practically hypo looking as it is so I might be wrong.

Im not 100% sure the reason I was thinking hypo was because I bought one that looked almost exactly like and it was sold to me as a hypo. However I no longer deal with that seller any more due to many reasons sick animals and any reason to mark up the price ( like calling everything hypo or a morph weather they are or not) so I could very well be wrong on that. The reason I thought it was hypo is because I've seen a few brooks kings since that didnt have the great orange in them.

Well, its why I put that disclaimer after I did a doubletake and got a closer look to notice the blacks were mostly brown. My hypo was a much lighter brown. Brooksi have so much variation in general, either one of us could be right.

Beautiful pictures. Ilove the way the yellow and grey compliment each other.
