Terry,

I've always been a fan of the high-contrast black and white "desert phase" Cal Kings. I too have noticed that adults lack the "clean" look of babies. I think in adults it's simply easier to see the dark pigment between scales. Here are some pics of three babies from the clutch (4 out of 7 hatched, one egg was infertile). If you look closely (I know the pics aren't very large) you can see dark pigment between the white scales of the hatchlings.
