First off here's a normal Cal King from Riverside Co.

Now a normal striped king from that area.

Before the aberrant, this was my best find in the area. A striped Cal King with an abnormal amount of yellow on the sides, could almost be considered a Newport morph which doesn't occur in that area.

That was my best find in the area until I turned this one up this spring.

I've been hunting this area for 18 years now and this has been the only aberrant I've found. Truly a very special find for me. Thanks for looking.

Great Find! and Great Pics!!! That Aberrant Riverside Cal King is awesome!! I also like the striped with the yellow!! Thank you for bringing this Forum Back to Life!!! Dave

Thanks a lot, I'm glad to post it here. I originally posted it over in the field notes forum, but decided to post here for the members that don't check that forum. I wish there were more of us Cal King guys to keep this forum going all the time.

Thanks, it looks like a female. It's probably a yearling, so I'm not sure if going by the tail shape is accurate yet. I think the genetics on this type will be a dominate trait like the Newport's. I look forward to seeing what I get from it. Thanks.
