2005 California Kingsnake.

Just took my snakes out of brumation recently and took this shot.

Her grandparents are:
Grandfather: Albino High White
Grandmother: Mendota (hypermelanistic)

Her parents are:
Father: 100% double het (albino & hypermelanistic)
Mother: 100% double het (albino & hypermelanistic)

She is possible het for albino & hypermelanistic

Very interesting little snake. I love the colors on the head, do you have any others that are similar? Tom Stevens

Really BROWN! I can see the brown speckling coming through the white scales already. Should be a really dark brown when an adult.

You can see the difference/variablility right off.

That is really amazing. When I think of Cal Kings a typical 50/50 pops into my mind. Seeing pics like these makes me see there's so much more to them, you really have some excellent stuff. Tom Stevens

are her eyes red?

Now that you mentioned it, I took the snake and a magnifying glass outside and she does have a RED pupil with a BLUE iris!

Kerby...

What do you call her? If she were mine, I think I'd name her after some flavor of ice cream. When I saw the small bits of brown on the off-white base, I thought of ice cream.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

some WILD & HYPER snakes I guess. . .
Do you have any HypO melanistics?
Ok, just havin' fun!!! Very nice animal. When you said No black, I thought I was going to see a completely 100% high-white animal with NO other colors (Until I woke up from my semi- nap) Thanks for the pic,

That's a great looking snake. I love chocolates.
