![]() ![]() The exact look and effect of the gene depend on the species. They seem to be grayer in tone than a normal kingsnake. Any kingsnake with yellow in its pattern can have it, but Florida kingsnakes tend to be the most common on the market. This is a morph caused by the lack of yellow and red pigment in the snake. It can be combined with other genes to create unique looks. These snakes lack the normal pattern, so they are solidly the background color. This morph is seen most in Florida king snakes but can be found in other species. Patternless Patternless apalachicola king snake This is found in California kingsnakes, but it can be found in any kingsnake with a deep brown morph.Ĭalifornia kingsnakes tend to have no patterns as well since patterned snakes are just called hypomelanistic. This can be caused by the snake producing more melanin. This is a morph named for the deep brown color the snakes are. However, other species may have it since it is typically named for the shade it causes in the snake. This can be found in California kingsnakes and Florida kingsnakes. They look pretty similar to albinos but you can tell the difference by looking at their eyes (lavender have dark eyes instead the the albino red) Lavender is named for the purple shade it gives to snakes. Species with this morph include California king snakes, Brook’s kingsnake ( Lampropeltis getula brooksi), Ruthven’s kingsnake ( Lampropeltis ruthveni), and Florida kingsnakes ( Lampropeltis getula floridana). A T+ animal may have a light caramel color or have more yellow. T- animals tend to be brighter in color.ĭepending on the exact species, T- animals may be light yellow, cream, white, or lavender with pink or orange eyes. It can be either T+ positive, where the snake has normal eyes and may appear less bright since they have Tyrosinase or lack it to make T. AlbinoĪlbinism is one of the most common morphs you will find in captivity. This is also true if another species has the same or a similar morph. This list will mainly cover the Calfornia king snake, but other species will be noted. Some species of kingsnake like the California king snake ( Lampropeltis californiae) have plenty of morphs available while other snakes only have the various localities available. When these were selectively bred for by humans, this is called a morph. There are many species in captivity, and many of these have unique colors and patterns. There are several crazy-looking patterns of these snakes being developed.King snakes ( Lampropeltis genus) are wonderful snakes. ![]() I breed her to my albino males to make 100% hets for albino.Ĭlick here to see a Nelson's Milk laying eggsĬlick here to see a whole clutch of babies This is a normal female Nelson's milksnake. He will be used in upcoming breeding projects. He is het for albino, his father is the first albino pictured on this page. This color reversal occurs as the snake ages and does not appear this way when the reptile is a hatchling. Her bands are reversed, the white ones should be yellow and the yellow ones should be white. This my adult female breeder albino Nelson's milksnake. He has the bulls-eye pattern and is an enthusiastic breeder.Ĭlick here to see a photo of another male breeder This is one of my adult male albino Nelson's. The albino morph as well as aberrant patterned individuals have added exciting new twists for keepers and breeders of these snakes. Even baby Nelson's are tame and easily handleable (unlike most baby Honduran and Pueblan milk snakes). They are great for beginners because of their simple care and maintenance, good feeding habits, and gentle dispositions. ![]() Their care is identical to that of corn snakes. Tim milk snakes are as hardy and easy to keep as corn snakes.
