Hello!
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.

Wild caught albino California king
I have a 2 1/2 year old albino California king snake that looks like a traditional albino ( red eyes, white skin) except the banding is a brighter white instead of the traditional yellow that you normally see in an albino. It is a pale white with bright white bands, has anyone else ever seen this?

They appear brighter with my flash on the phone but in the Sun or normal light they are very light I have looked all over the Internet and I have not found any of the king snakes that were albinos that were this pale in color. Thank you for your help

I'm not a kingsnake person at all, however, a quick search for 'albino kingsnakes' pulled this up almost instantly. While the band width is different, the 'pale' color appears to be pretty much the same thing:

That looks almost identical, thank you for posting that I looked all over and never saw another one. I don't think the California kingsnake was introduced into the wild over there so I'm assuming that got loose from somebody. I kind of suspected that that might have been the case with mine although mine was not found anywhere near residences that's still not to say it wasn't turned loose or got loose. Thank you very much for the help

Heck, years ago I found a DOR striped California king snake on route 90 between Jacksonville, FL and Lake City. Anything is possible these days, it seems.

Yea I want to say that this was definitely someones pet that got loose. Albino specimens rarely get that big in the wild as they stick out like a sore thumb to predators. They will also exhibit that pinkish color until adulthood which will slowly start to turn white. This one appears to be in between the two phases.
