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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026

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....

Blondes....
Some people believe the lavenders and the blue eyed blondes to be the same morph (Kerby at Lonesome Valley Reptiles for one). Tim Gebhart at Vivid Reptiles believes them to be a completely different morph.
This year I am breeding him to a hypo het for blonde female. Those babies when bred together will produce hypo blonde offspring. I can't wait for these to hatch.
Blue eyed blondes were once found in the Elfin Forest in California. Their habitat is now nonexistent and has been replaced by homes and strip malls.

That is interesting as I have bred them for a number of years and some of the babies have blue eyes and some don't.
Where was the elfin forest?

Elfin Forest...
Wes,
The Elfin forest was in Southern California just north of San Diego and Encinitas.
That is interesting that you produced some offspring with blue eyes and some without. Were these from Lavender to Lavender pairings?

Yes they were. I like both so I never made a big deal about the difference. I do suspect that it is genetic. There were two guys that found two different individuals, or that used one to start two different lines, John Dyer and John Ruiz. This is what I heard back in "the day" when these were first coming on the market. You could tell them apart by the amount of purple tinting and yellow banding. I produced a bunch over the years and hets as well, mixing the different albinos together, even bred one to a corn snake once.
The thing about cal kings is they are so mixed up genetically there are "sports" popping up every now and then.
About 10 years ago I produced several babies that were BRIGHT purple with fairly bright yellow bands by breeding a rubyeye to a normal albino. The babies were double hets, not expressing any albinism. Unfortunately I made a poor business decision, took on a partner and went from many many breeders, to just a few and the DHs I mentioned disappeared along with the cribos, indigos, false water cobras, all the good stuff.
I often wondered what they could have produced. I've bred other rubyeyes and regular albinos but have never seen babies like those. I am going to try it again this year though.

Sure would like to see some pictures of your blondes.
And you are right. There isn't a lot of info on them and I believe them to be different than Lavender Albinos, but I could be wrong.
Let us know how your pairing works out. Shoot me an email whenever you have time. I would enjoy sharing notes with you.

Jeremy,
It is easier to post here than Kingsnake, but I will look for them on both as I frequent both sites.
I hear the males are brighter than the females and that the banded ones ARE more lavender and yellow than the striped ones.
I can't wait to see your pics. Hell, I can't wait to see some hatchlings this year. LOL!!!
