A neat scale pic
My male gray banded king has amazing pattern. In his gray bands he has nice rusty and black speckling. I LOVE it! The female has clean gray bands which are also very nice but I love the way his pattern is sooo natural looking, like perfect camo for the wild!

He is like a living rock. You can see why these snakes were MADE for the habitat they are found in. Nature just too perfect sometimes.

P.S. I'd love to see pics of your alterna in a natural setting if anyone has 'em! I will have to wait until spring to take those pics!

Beautiful boy Marisa - have never seen that degree of detail in the grey parts before - very granite-like!! Love the close-up shot - the black frame really sets it off - but the irridescence on his head in the second photo is pretty nice too!

Yeah he has a nice head! :P He has a nice black head and she has a totally gray head which is nice!

I am literally DYING to produce my own. They are quickly becoming an overall favorite species and I am sure that will only get more true when I have more of them. I don't see how I'll sell even one baby! :P :P

That is one of the coolest grey-band pics I've ever seen. Amazing detail...

He's a beauty Marisa, no doubt about it Love that closeup shot, I've never seen a closeup of the "grey" on greybands before -- neat pic.

The blair's phase greybands seem to be growing on me -- and I blame it all on you Always posting nice pics of your pair, and raving about how awesome they are... it's all your fault. LOL. If you produce them next year, you're not allowed to keep all the babies... you have to send at least one to me
