Ok, I see what you mean now that you mention it I see the line on the back of the neck. That is why I ask. It is a pretty BTS though.

Not an eastern, though looks IJ to me, or maybe an IJ cross. You're not likely to find something like an eastern on kingsnake. There are only a couple of eastern breeders in all of North America (hey Jeff you're one of them now!!! :wink: ).

Also wanted to add, for the sake of accuracy: Eastern is a separate species, not a morph. Thats important to note because morphs of the same species can be bred, but different species (IMO) should NOT. Correct terms are just a bit of a pet peeve of mine :wink:
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thank you Alie for clearing that up. I am very new in the world to BTS. I have about 30 leos and my hubby has an indo bts but I was at an expo this weekend and saw an IJ there that called my name. I had her posted earlier(Susie Q). I bought her(knowing already what a BTS needs, just not very good at iding.....I just knew she was pretty).

And thank everyone else for helping with IDing. I rally appreciate it.

Be careful - lots of BTS are mislabelled on Kingsnake. Chances of finding an Eastern on there are almost non-existent! When shopping on Kingsnake you are almost always seeing some kind of gigas and chances are good that the seller is questionable. :wink:

Yes, that is why I thought I would ask before I even asked about it. Some times though you might find a little surprise, but for the most part, not really. Thanks for the responses everyone.

Yeah, I posted one up for the same reason. I saw it on KS and thought well that really looks IJ but im not familiar with easterns so I thought id ask. A further mark for the adage that was seems to good to be true most likely is.
