Give us a hint.

Is it a natural locale or man-made cross?

Is it wildcaught or did you produce it??

I'm guessing the visible scarring (look on body just to right of head) indicates WC, though obviously that's not always conclusive.

Looks like a Yuma Kingsnake to me, Lampropeltis getulus yumensis. Blaney synonymized it with L. g. californiae, but I disagree.

That looks like what was called a "Yuma King" back in the day. Even if it's not, it's pretty dang cool!

funky cross.I would never do any crossesand I would never purchase a cross either.To each his own thats just me.

Anyway, it is a wild caught animal.true blue yumanensis if there is such a thing and I think there is.

If it was a bastard, then it was a royal bastard. I heard that there are many of those in the UK, i.e., illegitimate descendants of kings who have no idea they are royalty. LOL.

Where did you catch it? The only yumensis I have ever found in the wild was an adult DOR, near Duncan, Arizona.
