Could be more common than I have seen, but I find the lighter snake very interesting...the stomache pattern is also very light colored...more beige, than dark brown/black...It almost looks more eastern milk than prarie kingsnake IMO. What is your opinions??? Note the larger snake is none-to-happy to be photographed. Very mean for a prarie king.
My apologies for the containment picture...

I have not caught a lot of Prairie Kings, maybe 5 or 6 and they were all in Kansas or Missouri, but I have not found one that light. Maybe it is your camera, but the ones we find are always a little more olive colored and not as gray as even the darker one appears. That light one is a very pretty snake. I always thought they might be fun to breed, but the babies are so tiny.
There are more pictures on my website if you want to see them.

The snake really looks just like the picture...and the darker snake is a lot darker than what I typically would find. The second pic of your prarie king looks a lot like what I more commonly find...nice snakes.
