Here's my male patternless appalachicola king. His name is Fabio. I named after a lovely girl saw him and calle dhim handsome. He is a very handsome snake. I got him from Vanan who traded some gex for him from someone else. Vanan had traded for him having been told he was a speckled king, but when I saw him, I knew, he was no speckled king I suspected he was a "goini" king (now known as appalachicola). So I posted him around and had him psotivitly identified as a patternless goini.
Fabio has a great temperament. Very easy to handle, over 4.5 ft long and thick. He's a great eater (coils like a brooksi), if not a little stupid. I have tried to sell him once, but no one seem interested so I am glad to keep him.
Anyway, here are some photos I took of him today.
A body shot to show the "patternless" pattern of his entire body.

A close up scale shot to show how the scales are coloured.

And some face shots to show his cuteness.

Not too many people have goini, much less male patternless once. The babies are screaming red, but grow up and are either a nice light yellow or a muddy sort of orangey yellow colour. There are "Blaze Phaze" goini which retain lots of orange and actually look nice. I prefer no orange myself.
I have a soft spot for speckly looking kings. Vanan thinks this guy is a bit goofy as he often dunks his head in his water slurps it up, snorts some up his nose and start sneezing for an hour. Sometimes sneezing so hard he vomits up his water. Then he drinks some more and he's ok. That's Fabio for you!
