Description
The Lavender White Sided Brooks Kingsnake Baby is a captive-bred reptile for the intermediate to advanced keeper seeking a visually striking, manageable colubrid. This morph combines a soft lavender base with clean white lateral stripes, creating a high-contrast appearance that has made it one of our steady sellers since we began stocking it in mid-2024. It arrives ready for a standard 20-gallon setup.

Your Questions Answered
Is this a good snake for a beginner?
This snake is suitable for an intermediate keeper. While it is a hardy feeder, Brooks Kingsnakes require consistent husbandry regarding temperature and humidity. A first-time keeper should have prior reptile experience or be prepared for dedicated research.
How does the lavender color develop as it ages?
The lavender base color typically deepens and becomes more saturated with each shed as the snake matures. The white lateral stripes generally remain bright and distinct, maintaining the high contrast into adulthood.
