What would you all call this morph?

Here' the best pic I have of her, but it doesn't really do her justice. The "black" areas look more medium dark brown in person and the "off-white" areas are more a light medium yellow. Eyes are medium dark brown. She was originally sold to me as a white & black 50/50 from a high white line, and she was definitively closer to black & white as a hatchling.

So far, I've heard a normal 50/50 that yellowed, coastal 50-50 aberrant, hypomelanistic, Newport brown, Newport broken zipper, and (my favorite) a partially unzipped chocolate banana.

It is a dark brown and light yellow Cal king.

Could be from black and white stock mixed with brown and yellow stock. Could be from black and white stock that sometimes throws some yellowish bands. Those are guesses, and that is all you have to go by.

When you breed a black and white Cal king with a brown and yellow Cal king, the babies can hatch very black and white looking, but yellow up a few months down the road.

Most black and white Cal kings brown up a bit with age due to thickening skin among other things. White can become a tad yellowish too at the belly. Lots of slight variation even in a locality.
