Adult Male White Side Axanthic Florida Kingsnake.
The Axanthic Florida Kingsnake is a stunning and unique reptile that is highly sought after by snake enthusiasts and collectors. This snake is named for its lack of red pigmentation, giving it a striking black and white appearance. The absence of red pigmentation in these snakes is due to a genetic mutation that causes a reduction in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for red coloration. As a result, Axanthic Florida Kingsnakes have a sleek, monochromatic look that sets them apart from other kingsnake species.
In addition to their striking appearance, Axanthic Florida Kingsnakes are also known for their docile nature and ease of care, making them popular pets for reptile enthusiasts. These snakes are relatively easy to care for, requiring a secure enclosure with appropriate heat and humidity levels, as well as a diet of mice or other small rodents. While they may initially be nervous or defensive when handled, with regular handling and socialization, Axanthic Florida Kingsnakes can become quite tame and friendly.
Axanthic Florida Kingsnakes are native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida, where they can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, swamps, and marshes. These snakes are constrictors, meaning they subdue their prey by wrapping around it and squeezing until it suffocates. In the wild, they feed on a variety of small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Unfortunately, habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as collection for the pet trade, pose significant threats to wild populations of Axanthic Florida Kingsnakes. Conservation efforts are needed to protect these beautiful snakes and ensure their survival for future generations to enjoy.
