That snake was founded in AZ. It would be an absolute mut and a big disappointment if not kept locality! That is such a great find! I'm very pleased to hear your going to keep it locality! If you also wanted to breed it with another Sonoran morph it would be cool to do it with an axanthic Sonoran! H...

Re: The payoff of 7 years of persistence

The pattern along the lower side near the belly is very odd and not like a pure cal king. That said there is always variation but definitely not like a pure cal king so definitely can be but also definitely might not be. The world my never know haha. I love how dark the head is. Very nice snake!
