pituophis lampropeltis hybrid

About a month ago - I saw online a photo of a Cal. King X Pacific Gopher snake.

I can't find that photo anymore, and I'm curious as to whether or not anyone here has photos of this hybrid.

No, I'm not planning to do it - I don't want hybrids in my collection (not even subspecies unless they are locale snakes from a natural occuring integrade zone), but I do find them fascinating and have nothing against hybrids.

The picture I remember seeing was from a fluke occurrence that happened in the wild (it was a wild caught specimen) - but if anyone has pictures of captive bred hybrids, I'd love to see those too.

TIA,

FunkyRes
