King snake Morphs What R The Possibilities

ZFelicien Dec 17, 2004 06:32 PM

Has any one every tried crossing a lavender speckled and a lavender Brooksi ... are the 2 genes compatible?

What about different types of lavender Cali kings? I know there are light phase and dark phase lavender Cali kings ... are the two compatible?

What happens when you cross an albino and a lavender snake together and breed the f1s back to each other? What do those babies look like has it been done in either Cali kings or speckled kings?

lastly what the h*ll is a hypo Cali king? What color is it? is it purplish? I've seen chocolate Cali kings advertised as hypos ... and I've seen a purplish snake advertised as hypo ... so help me understand.

I did breed a Lavender male to an Albino High White female and produced some double hets. I will be breeding them back to each other in '06 at the earliest. I will answer your question then LOL

Here is a pic of them breeding.

The one on the left is a normal High White and the one on the right is a double het (Lavender & Albinism). The double het on the right has a much lighter mask & lighter on the head and lighter markings than the normal one on the left.
