It is a Black King (L.G. nigra). The yellow bands will fade into very faint speckles, or disappear almost completely. The belly will stay checkered, and there may be a few yellow speckles on the sides. They reach an average size of about 36-40", but can get up to 60". Great snakes and easy to take care of once feeding is established. Good luck.

There ya go then. I had completely forgotten about the nigras.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
