    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I would like to learn more about cal king genetics, how are patterns and colors inherited?? What exactly is lavender? Is there albino desert phase and albino coastal phase, or is it just plain albino? Is there a website that can tell me these things?

Thanks
 
California King genetics are not nearly so easy to understand as cornsnakes or ball pythons. What little I know isn't even worth writing, but I'll write it anyway....

I keep forgetting which is dominant: stripes or bands. But what I know is that if you cross a striped with a banded, usually you get striped, banded, and aberrant.

There are coastal (brown and yellow) and desert phase (white and black), there are two types of albino that are not compatible (albino and lavender albino). There is a melanistic version, called Mendota. There are designer varieties (high white, aztec, reverse stripe, blizzard). There are some people who claim certain genetic morphs, but I have seen very little proof of these combinations... so I don't believe that they are genetic unless this is proven.

A great breeder/website for cal kings is http://www.lonesomevalleyreptiles.com/

Albino coastals tend to be white and yellow, albino deserts tend to be white and white.
