Lampropeltis getula floridana
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

Re: Lampropeltis getula floridana
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.
