New Brooksi King

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.

Re: New Brooksi King

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.

Re: New Brooksi King

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.

Re: New Brooksi King

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
