Does this [pink and green] kingsnake actually exist?

I found this picture and saved it to my harddrive a few years back.


What type of kingsnake is this? It's a pretty impressive morph!!

It is a very pretty snake, but I'm not familiar with kingsnake morphs just yet. I only just held my first one yesterday.

No idea. Maybe it's a hybrid.

I'm gonna take a crazy-wild guess and say.....it might!


I've never seen one like that...but I've seen them with that pretty awesome green banding before. (Held one...wanted to take it home really badly!) But instead of pink, it was chocolatey brown with the green markings. (Like mint-chocolate icecream!!) So perhaps that is an albino version of what I saw?

Sorry I don't know more about Kingsnakes to discuss actual names/types.

I saved this picture back in like 2002 or something like that. So I would think that by 2007 it would be a more common morph, no? Unless the people who took the pic altered the color...hm....

It's a hybrid. I can't remember the name of the company that was producing all these wild looking king hybrids a few years back but they were extremely expensive. I'll try and find the name of the place. I haven't heard anything about them for quite a while but they had some really spectacular king hybrids.



Now I remember one of them.

I remember seeing another site for a company that bred crazy hybrids... I never did find it again.

They do have some fabulous colours. Don't see any green ones though, but still worth ogling at. :-)

Edit: Found this in Mesozoic's links...a UK breeder who has some photographs taken on that blue aquariam gravel. Still didn't see that exact one, but you might poke around in here:

Steve Osborne (probreeders.com) Albino Tropical Pink Pastel Kingsnake. It's a thayeri x ruthveni, according to him.
