>>OK not sure if I'm spelling this right (this is from my phone and takes forever to look up) but how do you define phenotype? I'm under the impression, for Cal kings, its the color phase like black and white, black and yellow, black and cream and so on. Now what about pattern? Any of those color combos can be anywhere from narrow banded to wide banded and everything in between. They could also be striped, aberrant, and everything in between. Does phenotype also refer to all these patterns? This is just my first set of questions. Thanks

I define Phenotype as the visual expression of a snake.
California kings like Thayeri have a polymorphic phenotype.
That is...they have very many natural phenotypes.....
