Three species of kingsnake in one state! It's just not fair!!! What fun it must be driving to different places in the state, experiencing the different species along the way. I've never seen a Black nor Speckles Kingsnake ever, for sale or in any collection. Must be nice living in the South, y'all....

You can find both throughout the majority of Alabama, if you happen to make it to the northern part of Alabama, I could probably show you both species in one night. As for Mississippi, not too sure.
