First off, Very Nice Save!!

These two animals would both be considered generic blairs phase Gray Banded Kings.. If you want to call the darker animal "Dark Blairs Phase" you can go with that also.

The lighter animal on the #@%$&$^&^ cedar chips looks to be an older animal. Some,(NOT ALL) Gray Bands get those dark spots on the top of their scales when they get on in age. I have several older animals in my collection that exhibit these spots, but i also have even older Gray Bands that have not shown any signs of this at all?? There was a long discussion on this topic on the alterna forum a few months back if your interested in reading more thoughts on this.

Either way they are both very nice looking animals!

Good Luck with them!
