Does anyone know of a site that lists all the different colors for Kingsnakes and pictures? I saw a beautiful little guy in a petstore last night and he was just labeled as a "Kingsnake". The teen working at the store didn't know any more than that. I'd be curious to know what kind of kingsnake it is.

While there seem to be many sites devoted to the various corn morphs, I am not sure of any that have photos of all the different kingsnake species. I know Annette (Wrappped up in Reptiles Forum in the breeders forums here) breeds many varieties and has photos on her site. If you can provide a description (and the price) forum members can likely give a good guess at what it was.

The most common in pet stores here are albino and regular california kings (black to brown bodies with yellow to white bands or stripes - or the albino version - white with yellow bands), mexican black kings (pure black), grey-banded kings (grey with orange bands) and florida kings (brown to gold with speckling).

Here's one for various morphs of California Kingsnake, as that's usually the most popular king in pet stores I find:

Thanks guys. I saw an Avatar for someone that looks identical to the one I saw. I think it is a grey-banded king snake. It is very pretty anyway.
