Show & Tell
2015 male Gray-banded Kingsnake (Lampropeltis alterna) that is from the Granite-pattern line. Females of this “morph” show little or no orange, emulating the namesake Granite stone, while males have more obvious orange markings, if not usually aberrant, and often chaotic? We don’t yet know if these are gene mutations, but ongoing breeding trials will soon reveal their inheritance. This one is owned by John Finsterwald of ColoradoCorns.com.
