Pretty guy, Cal king with splendida or nigrita influence hmm?

I have never seen wild cal with chains,but at least two coastal cali experts identified her as a coastal So. Cal. soooo who knows? it don't matter, i only keep snakes for the heck of it and anyway i have a sneaking suspicion that cals/splendida/nigrita maybe more closely related to each other than we realize.

My thoughts ran the same as krazybluntz (splendida crossed w/ cal, maybe Az locality), but Jetzen, I think you make a good point w/ californiae, splendida and nigrita appearing to have commonalities.
