Yes, there are seven subspecies zonata. Most breeders you'll find that breed mountain kings breed knobs or pyro pyro. Even in the states finding a zonata breeder of any of the subspecies is few and far between.

Oh yeah? Hmm... that's funny. These people actually have the zonata ones cheaper than the pyro pyros! They don't have the knobs though...

The biggest difference between the GBs & the various Mtns is the size. The pic that is linked above to my MTNs is of an Adult breeding pair & the H2O dish they are on is approx. the size of a 1 lb butter container. The GBs grow to be slightly smaller than adult Corns. If space is a major thing the Mtns take up less of it & they will never need prey larger than hoppers, whereas the GBs will be eating adult mice once they are full grown & will require more space. Good Luck with what you decide & feel free to contact me with any questions. THX Mark I.

Thanks Mark! They're both beautiful snakes -- if I decide to go with a Knoblochi I'll definitely drop you a line -- yours are just gorgeous!!

There are many choices of graybands and mtn. kings, with a wide range of variability for sure. Especially in the gray banded kings. I have some pics at www.crimsonking.funtigo.com of some of mine. Some pics are old, but you'll get the idea.
