The Nuevo Leon Kingsnake in the Leonis phase is a beautiful Mexican kingsnake prized for its bold banding and rich contrast. A locality-type animal, it appeals to keepers who value clean, natural patterning and the hardiness kingsnakes are famous for.
Kingsnakes (Lampropeltis) are among the best beginner-to-intermediate colubrids: hardy, active, easy to feed, and forgiving of minor husbandry mistakes.
