The adult Cal Kings I've seen (haven't seen many) have smaller white bands than my little girl. The white is so bright and the black is really dark - she looks neat. The bands seem almost the same size as the white bands, but some of the black bands don't even go across to the other side (kind of look like spots at first glance)- I've never seen this either. I realize she's still young, but I was wondering do the white bands get smaller as they grow or will she maintain the large sized bands as she gets older?

LOL, I like the talking in the titles.

50/50 used to mean wide white bands on a desert phase cal king(50% white 50% black). However, now it just means high white as selective breeding has led to high white cal kings with far more than 50% white. The above snake is a great example of one with pure white and black bands (opposed to off white and dark drown).
