Florida Kingsnakes Then and Now
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 бер 2020
- Glenn Bartolotti (Project Simus Florida) and Daniel Parker (Sunshine Serpents) take a look at the geographic variation of Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis getula) within the State of Florida. They visit the Florida Museum of Natural History and look at preserved specimens from long extirpated populations. They also look at live Kingsnakes from various regions of Florida.
This was a really interesting documentry! Thanks for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Florida Kingsnakes have quickly become one of my favorite colubrids. Thanks a lot for spending the time to make this video. It was very informative and well put together.
Really happy I found this video. I have two females that I purchased from a breeder here in Virginia, one is more of a traditional Florida king while the other is a citrus county locality. I didn’t realize they varied so much, and am loving learning about these! Thanks for the time you took to make this!
Thanks!
Great to see them all together; thanks for the video.
Thanks for putting this video together. I'm an avid Florida Kingsnake fan and have been curious about the different provenances since I acquired my first Florida King back in the mid 80's. It belonged to an acquaintance and bit like the dickens! It was the most gorgeous kingsnake I've ever seen. It was about 6 feet in length and judging by what I've learned through the years was most likely not from Miami-Dade area. I've enjoyed taking care of several other Florida Kings over the years, never got to see one in the wild though. I find it sad that there are so many localities where they just do not exist any longer. It's a shame that more land can't be set aside for wildlife to continue. I really do appreciate that you made this video, it'll be a great reference for many!
Thanks so much I think the biggest cause of the decline in king snakes in Florida is all the changes in hydrology habitat, degradation, and spraying chemicals in the canals and lakes
Love the video and great explanations! The variety in getula is just awesome.
thanks!
Terrific video thanks for sharing...!

Finds
I have a male Florida Kingsnake of unknown provenance. Also I am one continent away. It has a high band count and definite chain pattern on the sides. I hope it doesn’t change to this light brown when he grows up completely. Now it is a year and more and still he hasn’t changed. How can I know where he is from?
Most likely south Florida
I've been herping all over fl never found a a king in any county but palm beach and oacachobee
Yup it’s getting way more difficult
Can’t find king snakes in Pinellas county anymore
Well only a few.
Be nice if u made a video showing all these when there younger as well due to the color transformation as they age
That’s a good idea
Why aren't they found in Volusia anymore?
Maybe on the coast
Which gets the biggest
well the North florida Kings seem to grow the biggest but all half a chance to get to 6 ft
Trying to find a solid, reputable breeder of kingsnakes is almost impossible..
Sunshine serpents and Keith Hillson
@@GregsTurtleHavendo they have a website
Are you herping these or these are captive ?
Some herped some locally pure bred
Also do kings stink ? Like musk a lot
When they first caught wild, caught ones, but not captive born
@@ProjectSimusFlorida so captive ones don’t your saying ?
@@strongtv_creator correct
Most informative" kings were abundant in pinellas, st pete, north tampa 40+ years ago, now you can find kings in Tampa, 😂 at the fairgrounds" yup" amazing how band, color , location make up the Eastern / floridana, ive raised many" lots of red as as babys & ruby eyed albinos, that fade like brooksi with maturity" from len"s collection
Thank you so much. Have you found any kings in Tampa within the last few years??!
I did north tampa with a certified poisonous snake collector for anti venom & research, for a time and a few places in Bradenton and they the the the the corridor, kings are still in Okeechobee , the canals high yellow phase , cane fields , but I've watch the decline of species such as garter snake, king snake, yellow rat, ribbon snake , green snakes, green anoles, 6 lined purple tailed skink, ring neck , scarlet, ect over the years, but plenty of banded water snakes,water moccasin, black racers, pygmy rattlesnakes and diamond back, rarely a coral in a tree stump" last big king I caught was 94" doing a bridge job , eating banded water snakes, mellow " more than some captive born but I haven't flipped tin for snakes for years
