Hi...me again. :P Never seen/heard of a Chocolate Cal King before. It looks quite similar to the Mexican Black King, except I noticed your female has brownish bits on her. Is this a variation of the Mexican Black or something else or it's own individual little thing. I apologize if this is a stupid question. I know not much about Colubrids at all though I love looking at them and am always itching to learn. I have a few Colubrids myself, (Albino Tangerine Hondruan Milksnake was my first ever snake) but they're more pets as I'm more focused on Pythons and Boas.

Thanks again for sharing. I could look at these little critters for hours.

They are similar but are a different subspecies. MBKs are Lampropeltis getula nigrita and Cal kings are Lampropeltis getula californiae. MBKs are naturally black (for the most part). This Chocolate Cal king is Homozygous for a particular recessive mutation. Its basically a Hypermelanistic or Melanistic Cal king.

Wow.. nice pics!! Some fantastic animals there. I also love the chocolate cali kings... certainly don't see them everyday. You got great pics of all of these animals!! I've always wanted a tangerine honduran milk.... but just never bought one for some reason. They're gorgeous.

Congrats.

Thanks. I'm a big fan of the Chocolate Cal kings and the Hondurans. Both are really gorgeous snakes.
