Snake of the Day 04-14-17

Show & Tell

This 2015 male Granite Gray-banded Kingsnake (Lampropeltis alterna) is not for sale, but I wanted to share this update on his color progression.  He looks remarkably like his father, in having so much orange in such aberrant pattern.  We’re not yet sure why this one (and his father) have such exaggeration of color and markings, but future breeding trials may reveal the inheritance of this look?  As I have cited before, this is from Mike’s amazing line of Granite gray-bands, but unlike most male Granite GBs, this one–and his father–have much much more color and pattern.
