I don't see alot of difference between this one and the San Bernadino mtn. king. the whites aren't as bright but i immagine that's just the particular snake?

Lisa, identifying any of the mtn. kings correctly can at times be difficult. Scale counts, band counts and locality data are necessary. Plus natural intergradation occurs too.(Just to add to the confusion).Here he is showing more of his body. This guy has much more black than most I've seen.
