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.

Banana? High yellow? Confused
I have acquired two kingsnake babies. They are being sold to me as high yellow, but I am confused as to if high yellow is a term used with kings, or if they are banana kings, or even high white (though they are more yellowish than white). Here are pics (please excuse the bluriness o9f the second pic). Also, how much are hatchling kings such as these usually sold for?

The first one looks like a high white individual and the second looks more like a reverse stripe.
As far as worth, check ks and here and see what they're going for. 75.00 and up maybe, for the high white and 50.00 and up for the reverse stripe. That's what mine will be when they hatch out.
You may have snakes that are mixed coastal and desert lines which can lead to babies that are white that turn yellowish as they mature. I am calling these, as I too produce them, ivories. Nice and white when young and yellowing with age, and of mixed blood.
Nice snakes.

I think Banana vs high yellow is just a percentage thing, with banana's being the 85%+ category, at least that is how I've always used them. High whites are from the desert line of CA kings that are black/white instead of black/yellow, not to be confused with the brown/yellows LOL, different morphs though, than what you have. Different names are also used, as Wes pointed out that second one is commonly called a reverse stripe, but it can also be called a banana IMO. The color in that first one is kind of hard to tell, but it does look more "creamy" or to the white side, as Wes also mentioned, so I would agree it might have at least some desert influence. If it is more yellow than the photo appears that would be one of the most yellow bananas (percentage wise, not color intensity) I have ever seen. The whites have been able to reach higher percentages than the yellow/banana's but I haven't kept up with them the past two years, so don't know how high they have gotten the past couple years.
