Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

question about if morph or normal albino
Hi,
Got this sweet kingsnake at a local pet shop, they didn't know anything other then it was an albino.
Picture's don't do it justice makes the snake look white and yellow, but he's white, with real light green scales, and ofcorse the red albino eyes.
SO long story short, this a typical albino king or a morp of some sort?
pics on photobucket couldn't figure out how to add them here

No harm, no foul Jeremy.
Looks like a typical albino striped cali king (best I can tell, photo's are a little blurry).
I had one as my first long term pet snake, had her for 15 years. Nice pick up!

Jeremy,.....if the tail has the stripe continuing all the way down the back to the tip of the tail, or even if it's broken with dots and dashes, then it is basically a striped amel Cal. king, but if it has a wide solid-topped tail, it is an amel Newport-Long Beach morph.

Thank doug and dave.
He/she does have a solid green strip alway to the ind of it's tail tip.
Striped amel cal. king then?
Did I get ripped off paying pet store price of 79.99 (far as breed goes as for pet was priceless)

Looks to be more of a Newport Phase Amel with the pattern on the laterals.......
Cal kings are from brown to black with white to yellow bands.......
The term Amel means Amelanistic = no melanin (black).
So the yellow will still be apparent and the black will be missing and replaced with no pigment......white.......
No green at all on Calkings......

BTW.....Amel (albino) IS a morph of some sort........a recessive trait.
