Most specimens in US collections are descended from animals collected in the general region of the type locality, from Basasiachic south to San Juanito. This is a very beautiful kingsnake with a very complicated pattern and brilliant clean colors.
Most hatchlings readily start on thawed brained pinks, some even accept live pinks.
They do well at temperatures that are cooler than many snakes prefer, ours will eat at temperatures in the 60s, though it is not our recommendation to allow them to do so unless supplemental heat is provided. Inc. All Rights Reserved. VIDA Preciosa Publishing, LLC .
