And I'm not too familiar with the kinds of kingsnakes, I was told he was a "brooks king snake" but he just looks speckled to me.

He's actually neither he is an Apalachicola King Snake Lampropeltis getula goini And a really nice example of one! Congrats on that pick up. They are found in a small part of the Panhandle of Florida

They also call them Blotched Kings as usually they have blotches on them you have the Patternless or Striped version of them.

I've been getting so many opinions on what he might be, and google doesn't help with dozens of different colored morphs to each. Do kings have a certain belly pattern to each species?
