Well, if you watch Means' kingsnake video on Animal Planet he will make you think that there is such a thing as a "pure" snake and that it is elusive and super rare. The more apt truth is that there is a myriad of patterns in the kings of the Appalachicola region. Patternless is one of these phases(IMHO), not a "pure" form.
That said, there is only 1 morph available in this ssp, BLAZE(my bet is better than 50% of everyones collection is a morph or het now). With its color and variability its kinda easy to figure that Goini blood could be mixed with other eastern Getula ssp morphs to create some bizarre multimorphs and their corresponding hets. The dirt cheap low price of normal Goini($35 at hatch)doesnt pursuade anyone to breed them "pure" either. The popularity of alot of these crosses has made an illusion that that there arent many out there, there are plenty. And just because you breed these crosses doesnt mean you dont have or breed "pure" Goini either! This year I had some normals, some hets some morphs and some crosses.
