On one end of the spectrum we have melanism and on the other we have albinism.....with everything else in the middle.
And there are a lot of recessive genes somewhere in between.
We have yet to correctly label a lot of these recessive genes in california kingsnakes...and we have yet to properly identify some of these as different than similar ones.
The term "lavender" in cal kings obviously represents DIFFERENT recessive genes that are NOT compatible to each other. The same goes for "hypo".
There are numerous "lavender" genes in cal kings that are different.
There are numerous "hypo" genes in cal kings that are different.
And there are a lot of mis-labeled cal kings...and mis-use of what is recessive and what is not. Just check out the K-snake classifieds.
