All hail the new king!

Soooooo, the king snake fairy visited my house and delivered a beautiful new snake. I'm not sure about the phase, but at Petco it was shown as an aberrant California desert phase king snake. Fell in love at first sight

Re: All hail the new king!

B.B. stopped 'yawning' and he is super active, healty, sweet and curious snake. He still sleeps in the open sometimes, dives into the water bowl from the frame of the enclosure (no kidding) and has a voracious appetite, he is happy I hope.

Re: All hail the new king!

What a neat little guy!

Doesn't look like any aberrant Cali king I've seen, though. /squints

Cali kings've got white on them, don't they? Google seems to think so.

Re: All hail the new king!

Is it just me or does it look like an MBK?

Re: All hail the new king!

I was thinking the same thing but I read recently while researching kings that there is a gene that makes makes them all black. The specific name escapes me but like a reverse albino gene that makes them darken as they age.

Yes, thank you. I was out and not near my laptop to look up the name.

I'm not expert in the least but technically could be an option depending on age etc. Either way a very nice looking snake. I want an MBK but can't right now an all black king in a smaller size would be awesome.

Re: All hail the new king!

He has a couple of thin white/grey lines and dots in the sides, I have a pic where they can be seen, I'll upload it in a little. I have seen pics in Google of snakes with that pattern, often labeled as 'nítida' kingsnake, so maybe it has a little of it
