Banded, Striped or Both Kingsnake Q?

I asking on behalf of my friend.

He got himself an Albino Banded Kingsnake.

Question is, to me, it looks it got a striped on its back. Does this make the kingsnake a Striped Banded Kingsnake?

I have never heard them referred to as both stripped and banded, but I guess it could be, maybe someone else can give a more definitive answer..

I dunno, but it looks cool!

My first thought was that your friend actually landed an albino checkered garter. ha ha Then the head confirmed kingsnake in my eyes.

Though the pattern didn't look to me like it was entirely either pattern variation. So I did a search. It looks like there is an albino banded and striped California kingsnake.

Here's a couple links for you...
Click on the first two pictures and you'll see the color and pattern mutation your friend has here.

He's got some nice size on him - how old is he? You have a full body shot of him?

Robin he is probably 3.5-4 ft long, and I am not sure how old he is. And no I dont have any full body shots of him, but I may do a photo shoot with him soon, and when I do I will get some, and post for you...:D

Niether, and either or.....if that makes sense. lol. It's known as an abberant pattern and some call it a banana morph. They are created by breeding banded and striped adults together. You can get banded, striped, and abberant patterns from one clutch.

There you go! I had seen the name banana king, but didn't retain what its attributes were. Thanks for educating!

Yes. I should have clarified, albino banana. The original animal is not one I would call a banana, but most people do. Bananas were originally produced from selective breeding of Newport Beach animals with the highest amount of yellow.

I've always gone with if it isn't 90% yellow, it's not a banana. That one would not, to me, qualify.

It's a nice looking snake, but not a banana.

oh... so my friends king is an albino banana abberant kingsnake.

My one is a banana.. the flash kinda wash his yellow.. anyway, if he isnt a banana stripe king, he is just a stripe king??

Again, either or. Opinions differ. I've seen plenty like yours over the last 20 years called bananas. Some would say banana, some would say hy striped.

Here's my albino banana.
