Got these (1.2) from Don Shores in 2004. I took this updated pic today. I also have (1.1) that are het for albinism.

Those will be next on my list. They are really nice snakes and easy to take care of. Those are the two requirments when I add new stock to my collection.

1) Beauty and new to the market
2) Easy to maintain (hard to kill)in captivity

The splendida would fit those two descriptions, wouldn't it?

Plus I have 1.1 that are het for albinism, so once I get some albinos I will breed them to the hypos, then back again to get albino hypos; hope they look cool!

Hi Kerby

Very nice Splendida!
That has got to be the nicest hypo desert king that I have seen. I really like the yellow. I wonder what the hypo/albinos will look like? Axanthics, Ghosts and Snows?
I think we have alot to see in the near future from Splendida.

Here is a pic of my Aransas Co.,TX specimen: (not hypo but nice nonetheless)

Hi John
Thats a sharp looking Splendida you got there , I really like his pattern .
Yeah its going to be pretty to cool to see all the new color morphs come out in the next coule years.
I haven't seen alot of Hypo Splendida but dont they all look about the same acording to lighting ?

Thanks Jason

Well, in Splendida (especially in my area) there is a range in the light color from white to bright yellow. As we all know this is seen in almost all common kings.
Yours by the way is close to the bright yellow range and one like it is up near the top of my wishlist.
