Thanks man....

Yeah, been deeply involved with snakes since about 1967.

Most banded Cal. kings, especially many years ago have wider black bands than the white, but with many years of line-breeding, there are now many "high-white" morphs where the white is far more dominant in the color scheme. Some are now up to about 95% white.

If yours has white bands that are as wide, or slightly wider than the black bands, then it is a "50-50" Desert phase such as this one.....

If you want to see a couple hundred photos of some other cool snakes, you can go to my website at the bottom of my signature here.



Now if the black bands are substantially wider then the white bands like this one, then it is a normal Desert phase Cal. king.



Here is a cool looking aberrant/striped Outer Banks king I have here....



And a killer "high-yellow" floridana(brooksi)



a vanished albino Honduran.....
