I collected and bred them from all over the sate when i lived there. You will find abberant Cal kings from all across the state. From the north to the south. Their could be just something in cal kings which causes abberancies because they are related. I have seen this over and over and have been around since the early days when peope started creating abberant morphs.



So that is why breeding to something like a Pueblin would prove the mosaic to be a codom.



No, you will not find them "all across the state". What you are saying means you will find aberrants anywhere in the state, and that's not true. They are restricted to certain ranges (see Hubbs book lol) and in all cases, their patterns are inherited genetically. Some recessive, some co dominate, and then others like the SD striper. Other banded kingsnakes found outside these ranges, do not carry the same genes that cause aberrant patterns. So, breeding an aberrant to one of these kings outside the aberrant range, will also prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, whether the trait is co dominant or not. There is no need to have to hybridize anything to figure this stuff out.
