I have had my Kingsnake for about 2 months and recently came across a couple old friends who are more into it than I so here’s a question. Are brown blotched kingsnakes rarer than normal black kingsnakes or what? I told them that mine was much more brown than the four black ones my friend Danny had so I was a bit confused. Seems like color variation to me since California herps tend to vary.

yes brown is just a color variation and some areas have brown and some areas have black and some areas have both.

They are brother and sister from unrelated parents. Dotz is rather unusual. Even her personality is unusual for a notoriously secretive reclusive species. She is bold and when she eats she doesn’t give a fig if I watch her!

Thanks for the compliment! I researched as best I could to find these. I had considered zonatas but the zonata disease scared me off.
I will ask Bill if they are that strain. Dotz is an enthusiastic eater of ft pinkies. Woody is enthusiastic, too, he just does not like ft pinkies so I have been feeding him lizards I or my cats catch until my mice can produce some live pinkies, which he ate for Bill. Even my lizard scenting does not entice him to eat the darn ft pinky. I am going to sleeve the ft pinky in a piece of Snakezoid’s shed skin next time I feed him and see if that doesn’t work. I am not too worried about this. He does not have anorexia, so I think eventually he will eat mice, alive or dead. I am in a position to provide the wild type diet if all else fails, which is a different situation than for most folks who get these pyros.
