Brooks Kings are probably my favorite species; or a tie with the Eastern. What I love so much about Brooks is that they do still get large (around 5ft, or more) but they're also the heaviest bodied of the Kingsnakes.
Thanks for this video and sharing your knowledge, experience and seeing some of the really great "underrated" North American colubrids. You are an asset to those of us who are new to reptiles and learning about all the different species.
Thanks for making this! I just got my first brooks kingsnake and hes maybe 8 inches right now. So it's going to be super exciting to watch him get bigger.
They are amazing and they grow pretty quick
beautiful animal
Thank you so much I was having trouble figuring out the humidity requirements for this species.
Hopefully it helps. You can always message me if you have any questions
Thank you for the video I just got one of these today
Glad you liked it! I sure yours is going to be awesome
I have a stunning red-phase hypo mosaic Brooks king (named Brooke...again original, I know haha). She is the BEST pet I've ever owned. Extremely gentle, predictable and ever inquisitive; yet, as you stated in the video, she is HIGHLY agile and extremely fast when food is present, so I always keep that in mind when I'm about to feed her. I don't worry about her tagging me though, as she seems to always know where I am in relation to the food items, unlike my Cali King. Ugh.
Anyway, good video, and thanks for posting!
Офигеть, друг, я так же назвал свою змею Bruksa, но только а моем случае имя змеи означает женщину вампира из славянского фольклора😂😂
I’m breeding my Albino Jelly Brooks king pair this year! My female is MASSIVE bro. 4 feet but she’s maybe 3-4 in. Thick. Got bit by her last night and it was NOT fun… 🙏💀 great channel man, just found your channel. And yep. High food response 🤣🤣 he latched on my middle finger and started squeezing it just like a mouse. Thankfully he didn’t start chewing but it hurt bad
If my humidity on mine is around 55%, and I’m not misting the enclosure…what should I do to lower it? I’ve seen I need to keep it between 40-50% ? Also, I have a heating pad, but it’s staying between 73-77 degrees, and I know I need to get a hotter corner. Should I do a heat lamp, or basking light? UVB? Thank you!
More ventilation or changing substrate that doesn’t hold as much moisture are the quickest solutions to less humidity. For basking spots at least on animals that don’t require 100+ basking spots I like to use a combo of low watt halogen bulbs and led UVA/UVB bulbs or strips on a timer. With a heat pad plugged in 24/7 that will make some good night drops
@@JzsReptiles I just got him and fixed up his enclosure around 6pm yesterday. Does it just take time for everything to get acclimated? I don’t want to chance harming him, so that’s why I ask. Enclosure has mesh top, and bedding that was recommended is Aspen bedding. Would you change that to something different?
@@lmauzey24 nope. That’s what I would use or if going for a natural look a mix of cypress, play sand and top soil. After a couple days things should settle in fine, if anything you may need to add a humid hide for shedding depending on your room’s ambient humidity.
Is it ok not to use a uv lamp for my hatchling brooks?I’ve got the heat pad etc.I was told you only need a lamp when they get bigger?
Uva and uvb is recommended for 99% of animals
@@JzsReptiles ok cheers mate!have a good Xmas and new year!🎄✌️
thank u for making this video i honestly dont know if this kingsnake i have is a brooks or not my neighbor just gave him to me cause she didnt want him and she had no idea what kind it was so i was wondering if u had like a email i could email a photo of him to just to be sure cause i dont want to set him up wrong and up hurting him but again thank u :)
XxiambreadxX sure thing! Pm me on my Facebook or Instagram at Jz’s Reptiles
Great video bro I’m trying to convince my girlfriend we should get another snake we currently have a corn snake, bearded dragon, created gecko, and a red eyed tree frog but a white sided brooks king should finish off the collection for a while
Agreed
I have a question . So I’m thinking of Adopting one I’ve had a couple of different snakes but most of them were ball pythons the snake I am going to adopt is a king snake but the owner wasn’t taking care of it as it should be ,she previously told me the snake had bitten her because she doesn’t take her out as often and she’s three years old ,was it hard for you to take care of a rescue snake for it to get used to you?
Natalie Vazquez it’s not. Kings have a great feed response usually more than most pythons and that is probably why the previous owner was bitten. I have quite a few snakes that would Be considered rescues and they’re individual “personalities” are all different. If you are concerned with being bitten there are several ways to pick them up safely for you and the snake. I have a video on it on the channel if you want to check it out, but they will move much more than ball pythons so don’t worry about the faster movements. I hope that helps but if you have more questions please ask or private message me
Jz's Reptiles how would I message you privately?
Natalie Vazquez I’m on Facebook and instagram as Jz’s Reptiles
Im pretty sure i just adopted a wild caught brooks kingsnake. They strike at every movement and spaz out if you touch them. Any advice?
@@yzxqh a lot of patience and probably a few bandaids for fingers, but it may never fully “calm down.” Frequent short interactions and handling is what I would say first
That king snake is a florida hypo mosaic king. super nice specimen and is big
Thanks! He was obtained as a Hypo Brooks but possibly misidentified, as brooksi are subspecies of florida kings if I understand current taxonomy.
Now a days brooks kings name has been over used as so many breeders use it to help with the sale. Most brooks are known to come from the southern most part of dade county. Now though it seems to be used for the color morph of a lighter variety. Florida Kings and Brooks are from the same species and are not split apart anymore. Floridana getula
@@TurkeyKillr That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks for the great info and the view!
You’re welcome friend hope that you make some more videos of any other fl kings that you have always love fl kings.
@@TurkeyKillr in the new colubrids video I feature my new baby ghost florida/brooks and I have another one about kings in the works
Can these breed with any king?
Tal1 probably, but it would be a hybrid because they would be a different species cross, but as long as you say what the offspring is you won’t get too much hate. A lot of people don’t like hybrids
Jz's Reptiles so a Mexican snake with it would be looked down upon?
Tal1 by a lot of keepers, yes. As well as sexually mature animals of the two different species are quite different and I would be hesitant to put the much larger Brooks/Florida. Mexican Kings do naturally intergrade with desert Kings and are a little more closely related and closer in size.
I've never seen a Brook's in the wild that looked like that. Probably lab bred, right?
Just a recessive trait that wouldn’t last long or be very common in the wild
This species wouldn't be _endemic_ to Florida, if it's also found in Louisiana. Endemic means it's only found in a specific area. 90% of species in Madagascar are endemic. Idk what percentage but most of the plants and animals from New Caladonia are endemic. It's another insular region that has been seperated from mainland environments for, idk, millions of years probably, but of course you know that :)
