>>>"I got to talking to one snake breeder who seemed legit"


*** Right,...."seemed" legit is the key word here...LOL!

What you have there is DEFINITELY an anery. hybrid cross,....probably of a Cal King x Milksnake(can't be sure of ssp.) x Cornsnake. But without knowing specifically what exactly was bred to make the combination, you will NEVER know for certain. Unfortunately, there are more hybrid combinations in the hobby now, than you can "shake a stick at", and the siblings never look the same as one another.

This is the VERY REASON I do NOT condone hybrids!!!(too long of a story). They ALWAYS get where they don't belong.

Don't feel all alone though, you, like MANY other folks, didn't get the animal you "thought" you were buying.
