A purple king?

There are some super cool albino and regular forms of Cali kings...=)

I don't know much about kings but WOW they do have some neat colors! I'm still thinking of getting that one from that reptile store.

So now I must know... I've never seen a king look anything like that! Was tempted to buy it since it was so awesome and different looking, but pushed myself out the door before giving it a second thought.

Sooo anyone know what kind of morph of king snake this may be?

Very nice little dot-dash albino Cali it would appear to be.

I live out in California and once saw a blue rattlesnake!!! It was the most bizarre thing! I was working at a winery and unfortunately a worker killed it with a shovel. It was an amazing thing to see though.

I asked the local reptile rescue what could have caused it and she said the only thing she could think of would be if its main food source ate a high volume of grapes (coincidence?) or blackberries.

Weird stuff!

Well Deb, I contacted Brian at BHB. LOL I'm going to get one when they are ready to go. ^^

You will love it, kings and other colubrids are great snakes.

Can't wait to see some pics.

Yeah I just got my first colubrid, it's a lavender albino king! I love him and i need to find a girlfriend for him. I was shocked at how easy they are to care for compared to my BP! They are beautiful too
