a bit out of my price range right now
a really pleasant snake though
and there may be a possibility of a trade
this was not on any of my lists . . .

yes - L.g.floridana


It has really nice colors doesn't it?

on top of the colours it has that slightly coppery sheen my intergrade also has, and in combination with the reds and yellows, it looks almost luminous

Nice looking snake....yeh, I'm always tempted to get a pair of some type of L.getula subspecies.

I looked it it again last night and I think this is a hard one to pass by
if Sean takes any of my babies for trade, I believe I will go for it, even though it's not a garter
btw
he says the parents both look nothing like this - they're totally normal florida kings

A very nice snake, no wonder you can't resist the temptation.

thanks Anji
I was feeling guilty, because Sean has a baby skink that Mikhaila fell in love with and of course she'll think it would be really unfair, if I got my snake and she didn't get the BT.
so this morning we spoke and if she can show me that she can take care of lizards as well as cats, the matter is up for consideration
I know I can take care of the snake
now I just have to see if I can talk Sean into a trade

She's very pretty.

Are you sure it is not a hybrid?

of course I can't be sure of anything
I do perceive Sean as trustworthy and he strikes me as fairly conservative in his view of breeding practices
he says the parents both look like totally normal Florida kings
there was another one in the clutch like this one, so I guess the parents must both be het for this trait
