Andrew Hare caught him under a rock he flipped in Russell, Kansas. According to all the range maps the only possibility is between a desert and speckled, way out of range for any black kings. He posted pics of the little guy on moreliapythons.com when he caught it and said it was one of the most unique he had seen. I would have to agree! I plan on trying to get a suitable female from the same area, or incorporating this male into my checkerboard projects.
