wondering if anyone has seen a similar california kingsnake. I got him in August, the breeder said he'd never seen one like it befor. There were two in the clutch, both males. he's a pale yellow, not whitish-cream like in the pics.

Awesome cali. Ive seen a few but they were white and black not the yellow tint. I cant remember what they called them. I think it was 50/50 spotted. but still very cool either way, nice find.

That abberacny is common and has been around for a few decades. It eventually worked its way to a total yellow cal king (just a tad dark splotches on the neck and tail) after selectivly breeding out the dark bands. Today these solid yellow snakes arepretty common and breeding it to a normal banded will throw abberancies like the one you have.
