What morph is my king snake?

I have been trying to find pictures of kings that look similar but all I keep finding are banded cali kings with very uniform bands.. Jude's bands are kind of broken and almost spotted in areas, can anyone help me identify his morph?

Cali king for sure, but not sure on the morph.

But that is actually one of the nicest looking cali kings I've seen. Congrats on your acquisition.

Nope, not even once. He doesn't even really like his food to be moving if I use feeding tongs to dangle it infront of him he gets scared and slithers into his hide, I have to just lay his food flat in his viv (we use paper towel as substrate so that he doesn't get impacted during feeding) and he will slowly wrap himself around the baby rat and then eat it. lol

Thank you I was thinking that but all of the pictures I was looking up weren't really matching, I was also thinking he could be an Aberrant.

I believe blotched is a form of abberant, so you would also be correct their

Thank you I adopted him from people that could no longer take care of him and I think they said he is around a year and a half but they weren't positive. He's almost 4 feet. The people that had him before me weren't feeding him correctly or giving him proper heating so he was looking pretty rough when we first got him. He's nice and healthy now, no longer lethargic or too thin.
