cali king babies

begunwithaletter Oct 22, 2006 12:57 PM

Jailbreak, the female who got to wander around my apartment for a day after she escaped...

she's a very liberal musker... makes it hard to get a 'clean' picture

Yogurt, the male. He's signifigantly smaller than the female, but much calmer.

These two are settling in quite nicely, aside from the frequent muskings by the female. They're taking pinkies every 4-5 days without complaint (they actually eat those pinkies faster than my juvie corns can!)

so basically aberrant-patterned high white. Cute as buttons!

Haha, so you're telling me you haven't come up with some catchy name for it? Must be a ball python morph thing
They ARE really cute though. Cuter than kittens.

Am I the only one who doesn't actually find buttons to be particularly cute?

well, I didn't produce them, so even if I though up a nifty name for them, it's not my right to give them a 'name' in that regards.

I think that designer fits it, as it was one of the few morphs that were really considered the "Designer Morph" when they first came out. (in kings anyways)

Professional Breeders had these high white Cal Kings way way back. They called them “Snow California Kingsnakes”. The same thing in yellow was called “Golden Yellow”. I guess the ideal was refinement for solid yellow or white. I think the fancy color brochure I got a zillion years ago has the same pictures and descriptions as their current one, so not sure on the success of their refining the traits any further all these years later. Maybe these near 100% solids are the result after all these years? But the name “Snow” was used a long time ago for them. Most of the “Designer” I see advertised are just a high white Banana king. Or at least that’s what I thought they looked like.
