I have had this snake for about 10 years now. He was bought as a FULL kingsnake, but it became apparent as he grew that he was a king/milk hybrid. He is one of, if not the sweetest snake I have owned and we love him a lot. his name is 'Whizzer', so earned the very first time I picked him up

When he was young, and until he was about 6 years old he was a stunning bright red...I mean fire engine red not a deep blood red. He measures in at a hair over 42". That and his marking/colouration led us to believe that he is one half Sinaloan Milk, but any guesses as to the other half? We've never been able to confirm anything as all attempts to contact the breeder were unsuccessful. What do you guys think he is?

Here's a head shot, sorry it's so crappy but he wouldn't sit still!

Maybe some Cal King blood in there as thats been a common cross with Sinaloans.

I agree with Keith. It looks like a Sinocal to me too.

my guess would be a classic desert phase calikingXsinaloan milk,
cool lookin snake,,,,,,thomas

Yah he is pretty cool, I've never seen another quite like him then again I haven't seen that many of these hybrids although I know there are a ton of em out there. He is the only one I own, was bought for me as a gift when he was a baby under the name of 'Jalisco Mtn Kingsnake'. Once we realized what he was a few peple offered to buy him but no no...as I stated above, mutt or no, he is so very sweet tempered, I have never had a problem with him in any way
