Lampropeltis getula floridana or the Florida kingsnake is a snake subspecies native to southern Florida.

Like other kingsnakes, this species is relatively easy to care for.

They can be housed in a 20–40 gallon aquarium with aspen shavings for them to burrow in.

(Pine shavings are toxic to reptiles.

Like other snakes commonly kept in captivity, they should feed on pinkie or fuzzie mice as babies, then gradually increase in size until the snake reaches adulthood, which by then they should be eating large mice.
