His books are great, he is doing well, he is trying to give you a general idea. A better general idea of kings then other books. But it surely is not exacting. You have popular books, down to specific papers on tiny subjects. And a huge area in the middle.
Once you learn the general information such as whats in these type books, you can then investigate deeper, then lastly into the animals themselves. Even today the animals are constantly revealing new and exciting information.
You may want to look up polymorphic or polymorphism as many species do this, including ground snakes, they can be banded, striped, or unicolor, in one spot, just like kings. having a snake species utilize many patterns in order to utilize different micro habitats or changing habitats is not new or restricted to kings.
The word INTERGRADE indicates one type of king currently breeding another type, that results in intergrades, that is NOT WHATS OCCURING. Kings are polymorphic and can utilize any one of or combinations of patterns to best survive in areas where conditions are not stable. Best wishes
