Here's a pic of my male and female adult Appala's. The first is the female who really shows why they are also called Blotched kings.

And the male Fabio, who shows the patternles phase of this subspecies of getulus. The patternless phase occurs only in males.

Not too common in Canada, which is a shame. The babies are gorgeous firey orange, despite losing this colour, I think they look neat as adults and get to such a nice thick heft to them. Definitely a king's king.

Some "blotched's" show somewhat stripey and abberant patterns. I hope the babies I get from these two have some of that going on.

Nice to see some of the less common kings. Seem to be a few of these as babies at the shows here in Alberta, but don't see many adults on display. The patternless male is nice.

Thanks for sharing,

I believe Annette in Alberta breeds them.

Well, it's about time we get to see 'em! Katt I'll all but guarantee that you get a few striped babies, if one of those snakes is who I think it is. Not only that, but a very large clutch too. So how's that? Boy- the things you do for friends. Good luck with them next year. I am sorry now that I did not keep any. They're one ssp.(?) I have for a while- then don't--then have 'em again. Great snakes and classic getula feeding machines! Hey, any chance we could see a yearling mahogany??

... of her offspring-- same clutch. Sorry they're so lousy. I was using an old 35mm and had no idea how to use it at the time.
