Does anyone have pictures of adult splendida, cal king intergrades. I have a supposed reduced patterned splendida. I think it has some cal king influence. Thanks for your time.

Here's some my buddy Terry Cox hatched out......from a Melanistic male and a desertking-like female...both from Tucson, AZ...

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Thanks for the photo. It has helped. I'm going to get photo of him on the forum soon.

Well, here is a young wild-caught intergrade originating from southeastern Arizona. They can be EXTREMELY variable looking depending on what percentages of either types are involved, as well as what their individual phenotypes were. Around the Tuscon area there is a three-way convergence zone of all three subspecies,....splendida, nigrita, and californiae. They can also look like any of the three, as well as any combination of these. Many have found very different phenotypes under the same piece of cover too.

Yours should be pretty easy to see the other subspecies influence when you can get it posted here.
