Help Identifyng King Snake!!!

[snakeriver]

I am sure this is a king snake, I just want to know what type it is. It looks a lot like my classic durango mtn. king snake. Please respond if you know what type is, it could be a durango just not a pure bred. He is up for sale on craigs list for 30 dollars. If you wanna see a pic of my snake it is my profile pic.Thanks.:)http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag124/snakeriver1/king_zps5eee2c5b.jpg

looks like a thayeri. maybe a greeri/ruthveni hybrid.

Grey banded king would be my guess.

[brianm616]

not an alterna, unless an alterna/thayeri or alterna/greeri hybrid.

not an alterna, unless an alterna/thayeri or alterna/greeri hybrid.

Why is that?

[brianm616]

pattern and color are wrong, head shape too.

Head shape, color and patterns look ok to me. The only thing that you don't see in most alterna's is the fading red on the top but i have seen that is a few specimens.

Edit: The grey on it seems a bit dark to be a grey banded so I'm pretty sure its not that.
