Doug tells me this first one was the nicest black and white 50/50 he could find at
the 1996 Reptile Expo in Orlando. Even the belly was white, which is something
you don't really see in wild caughts.

Jesse got this king from Pet Co as a Christmas present ten years ago when it was
around 10 inches. Its now 5', which is pretty big for a Cal king.

Now here is a 6' specimen. This is about as big as you'll ever see a Cal king.
Here is a huge striper owned by James Hay from Perth Scotland. He estimates
it between 4½ and 5 feet. She is 19 years old. An amazing Cal king!

You can tell this king is huge just by looking at the head. The eyes are somewhat
small in proportion to its head, which also indicates its an older individual. This is
something you'd have to see in person to really appreciate.

Half blotched and half striped.

Quote from Paul Lynum: "I'm a Cal King nut. Just hatched out some pure San Juan Capistrano locale kings. The father is a W/C Newporter and the mom is an F1 Newport from snakes that came from the same snake as the dad. So two Newport phases threw these out. Pretty amazing. Thanks to Brian Hinds for gifting me the parents to these snakes a few years back." Click on the photo below to enlarge.
Chris Sharp produced this hypo from wild caught parents found in the Central Valley of Northern California. Chris found the mother gravid in 2011. She is banded with some speckling. That year, some of the eggs hatched out the Eiseni morph. This year (2012) she was bred to one of David Tobler's banded males and this hypo was produced. So, the mother must be double het for hypo & Eiseni, and the father het for hypo.
Hypomelanistic. Click on photo to enlarge.
One of the babies is dark chocolate brown, while the others are black.
This king is over 20 years old. It was created by crossing a Scissors
Crossing (desert phase) to a Newport. So basically this is bland &
white X yellow & brown.

This individual has an interesting pattern.
This individual shows both SD striped and Newport influence like the individual
above. It has a Newport scrambled banded pattern with a stripe on the tail, which
is not seen in Newports. From Misiones Argentina.

Here's a barred morph with clean sides. I haven't seen too many like this.
A funny photo from LLLReptile & Supply's facebook page. Here's what the caption read: "Talking to a local school janitor staff about local snakes and how to use snake tongs appropriately. Funny enough, most of these guys were too scared of the kingsnake (a captive bred, adult California Kingsnake) to try using the tongs!"
