this is my new Baja Cape King. He is my only King, but i would like a L.g.californiae and or a L.mexicana subspecies, but in the very distant future. His name is Esobar, after Pablo Escobar, the Columbian drug lord; no, this snake does not have any drugs, so don't ask lol. Enjoy





























I believe L.g.nitida is now an outdated synonym, but i do not know what the baja Cape king is now called, as i love scientific names.

Those of you who know me from the corn snake, will know i am an avid invertebrate collector, with over 50 scorpions, spiders and the like
