Cal King Yellow Banded Project
I love Cal Kings. I'm always drawn to them on this site and others just to look at the all beautiful morphs available. What I don't see is a black and high yellow banded king snake. I do see some localities with slightly yellow bands. Yuma Kings? Anyway, here is my idea. I am too old and poor to take on a project like this, so I'm offering this up to anyone who thinks this might be a good idea, or maybe just fun! I would love to see line or trait breeding to bring out yellow color bands or markings on a black field. I know some kings naturally have more yellowish markings than others. Would it be possible to breed for the yellow trait over several generations to arrive at a king snake that is black with BRIGHT yellow markings instead of white? That would be an awesome look, in my opinion. Kind of like a Mangrove snake, but not venomous. If somebody IS doing this or has already done it... never mind! But I would like one!
