Hey,
I'm not much into kings, but got these in a trade. I believe it's a striped chocolate cali king and a chocolate cali king.
Opinions welcomed!
thanks,
Steve

First one is a nice example of a Desert phase Banded California Kingsnake.
Second is an aberrant Coastal phase California Kingsnake.

yep, agreed.
Chocalate refers to cal kings with wery reduced yellow/white areas.
I thought that the desert phase required black banding.
That's how it has been described in several books I've read - but books aren't always accurate.
I agree it has the distinctive white (opposed to cream).

My eyes may be bad.... But I'm pretty sure that first snake has black and white bands...
