Description
The Hi-Red Hypo Ultra Mosaic Florida Kingsnake Baby is a high-color captive-bred reptile for the intermediate to advanced keeper. This morph combines intense reds with a clean hypo pattern and the unique mosaic gene, creating a standout animal. Since we started stocking it in mid-2024, it has consistently been one of our top sellers in the kingsnake category.
Stand-Out Features
- Vibrant Hi-Red Coloration: This line is bred for deep, saturated reds that develop further with age.
- Hypo & Ultra Genetics: The hypo and ultra genes work together to reduce black pigment, resulting in a cleaner, brighter overall appearance.
- Mosaic Pattern Influence: The mosaic gene can create unusual, broken patterning along the back, making each animal unique.
- Captive-Bred & Feeding: This baby is established on frozen/thawed pinky mice and is a reliable feeder.
- Proven Hardiness: Florida Kingsnakes are known for their robust nature and manageable size, making them a solid choice for a display animal.

Your Questions Answered
How does the mosaic gene express in this snake?
The mosaic gene in this line typically manifests as irregular, often broken or ‘shattered’ dorsal patterning. Instead of clean, connected saddles, you’ll see a more randomized, artistic pattern. Expression varies, which adds to the individuality of each animal.
What is the expected adult size and temperament?
Florida Kingsnakes typically reach 3.5 to 4.5 feet as adults. They are generally docile with regular handling, though babies can be initially nervous. They are non-venomous constrictors. Our staff notes we have had zero warranty claims on this specific product line in over a year of sales, indicating good overall health and hardiness.
What setup do you recommend for a baby?
Start with a 10-20 gallon enclosure with secure locking lids. Provide a hide on both the warm and cool end, a shallow water dish, and appropriate substrate like aspen bedding. Maintain an ambient temperature of 78-82°F with a basking spot of 88-90°F. They do not require high humidity.
