I would guess it's a captive lineage Mexican Black Kingsnake. In some parts of the Mexican Black KIngsnake's natural range in Mexico the babies hatch with splendida type patterns and turn black as they mature and occasionally they even retain some or all of the pattern into adulthood.
Captive lines were generally bred to produce the blackest hatchling but occassionally baby MBK's with the splendida pattern hatch out. ----- www.hcu-tx.org/
