The Aztec has its own look, but it is basically an aberrant kingsnake. Almost all those morphs are considered aberrant, but aberrant is used when a certain Cal king doesn't fall into a certain category (morph). For example, there are high whites with different amounts of dark pattern in the white. Some have a lot and some have a little. When there is a little too much dark pattern, we call those aberrants. Where you draw the line is up to the individual person. I've seen some kings advertised as high white, but I'd call it an aberrant. I like the snake to have at least 90% white to be a high white, others might want to see at least 80% white to be a high white.
A really nice high white might go for a little more than the regular ones, but I think $90 is enough to get just what you are looking for. I see them going for about $60 a lot of times. You can also get high white albinos, which aren't too much more. Now, a real serious high white buyer is going to want to see the parents first and make sure they are both nice and white and not cream colored. Babies often look nice and white, but they can yellow up some as they grow, all depending on how nice the parents are.
