Speckled kings and blotched kings are some of my all time favourites,
always will like the Mexican Blacks too.
Temperament wise, all are much of a muchness IMO. _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

Just for you then Peter my speckles and my goins..
All of them are my favourites tbh.. each have their own little bits I like about them.
I would put all my kings piccies up but you'd get quite annoyed with all the piccies  |

Speckleds (as per my Avatar!) and Mexican blacks have always been my two favourites by a mile, fantastic snakes to keep, as well as Blairs-phase grey-bands although I've never yet kept these.
Tim, the close up shot of the speckled's head is absolutely stunning, these are just the most beautiful species of snake in my opinion.
As Peter said, post as many pics as you like! I'm very much hoping to get myself some holbrooki and nigritus in the new year, have missed keeping these two subspecies like crazy!
