Hello all
I am new to the kingsnake forum and just wanted to show off one of my new arrivals, what do you guy/gals think of him??
thanks for looking

Nice, is it a lavender? It looks almost purple.

nope

not a lavendar it is pink and white this one is a 50/50 wright line albino
(sorry about the previous post my daughter likes to push buttons when I'm not looking)
thanks

What you have is the culmination of many years of breeding.

Pink and white means that the T neg gene originated from a coastal cal king and was bred into a high White (50/50)desert phase Cal king. After a couple gens backbreeding the yellow coastal colors are bred out. Wht is left is a Black and White Cal king mixed with the T negative albino trait.

Now i could be wrong on this and maybe Kerby our resident Cal king morph expert can chime in.

from what I understand these came from breeding really nice 50/50's together from two different locality, the breeder has been working with this line for a number of years and was just trying to produce strong genetic diversity and these just popped out unexpectedly, I coundn't pass on these they are absolutly beautiful
thanks for looking and the wonderful comments

Actually the 50/50 line comes from a lot more than 2 localities and a lot more than one breeder. It started by breeding Cal kings into the newport phase and then backbreeding to create the bannana king. then breeding the bananna into the black and white desert and then sevral back breedings to wash out the yellows.

the black and white cal kings were selected from different localities for more white and blacker black as well. Most black and white deserts have yellow on the sides and so this took several locales and back breeding to remove this as well.

basically two different projects that took many years and then adding in the t neg trait into that.

The T neg could also have been floating on the nmix from the bannana because that was bred into that line many many moons ago and it made its way into the 50/50 line.

What you have is a perfectly man made cal king which only took 30 years to create.
