    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....

Albino Scarlet Kingsnakes- they do exist.

There's some dispute whether or not albino scarlet kingsnakes exist. Here is a picture I found online. I don't own the snake, the pictures not mine, its just evidence they exist. I once had contact with the owner of a female albino scarlet king. Hoping to find him again as he may be interested in the "tangerine phase" I have for sale.

More on Scarlet Kings

Here are 2 SK I found (and released) this past Spring in Central FL.
Never heard the term "tangerine phase" used to describe them. Tangerine phase started way back with Honduran Milksnakes to distinguish the darker specimens from the really nice light bright ones. To me, in my opinion, all SK are tangerine phase. But just as all snakes, there are regional variance and as seen in the darker specimen I found, even local variations with the immediate populations.

Also, many, many moons ago I collected the coolest aberrant pattern SK ever!
I'll see if I can dig up that old photo and somehow post it.
Sure would like to know the story behind the albino SK, super nice!

we have white banded ones in sc. Yellow bands are in fl. some of the florida yellow bands have a orange hue, Those are the ones coined tangerine phase. just like in hondos some locales had more orange instead of yellow bands making them bi-color. The point here is if someone refined these orange phase scarlets they would no doubt make astounding albinos. Beautiful snakes and thanks for the photos.
 
since we have the yellow type posted I will post pics of the white phase and another pic of the orange phase. The pic I took is poor quality but shows the orange a little better than the one from yesterday which didn't show the orange hue very well.

It would be way more obvious if we had all three snakes together in daylight but we can all see the differences now. It reminds me of the subtle differences in western hogs that make a huge difference when used in morphs.
