This girl hatched today from a clutch of 16 (14 to go) and has quite a few bands for a Cal king, huh?
I'm hopeful because this is a clutch from the pair that has produced the offspring with "extra" stripes in the past.Maybe I'll get lucky again. I know there was interest in the striped ones.
Big'n too!
Anyone (Kerby?) have Cals with lots of bands???

...would ask.. As soon as I posted only the top view. Ha!
Here's her belly. (should be noted I have not sexed the animal-just guessing)

Never seen one with that many bands.

Should look pretty cool as an adult.

I like that model with a black belly but the heavy checks are very nice also, much thanks!

We used to catch high band count desert cal kings near calif city (Mohave) in the early 80's. I have mentioned them here several times and have asked if anyone workd with those. Have not seen breeders keep those lines since the late 80's. Yours are the first high band count cal kings I have seen in a while. Maybe there are not from calif city (?) but they sure are purty.

I had a wild-caught female with near 50 bands from the high desert. When bred with a more normal, lower band count male, she threw both high band counts and a few low band counts. Very neat. I gave them all away in pursuit of what I thought were more "rare" snakes. Stupid stupid.

I've only hatched a couple out like that. They always came from my 50-50 line, which I don't have anymore.

Nice!

Kerby...

About 23 bands, can't tell for sure.

opposite of what you have, still interesting.

Kerby...

Not as high as yours...

Kerby...

Love those bands - lots of bands! Awesome, thanks for the pic and good luck with the rest of them.
