    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....

I've never seen one like this before. Have you? He's got some siblings out of another mother, well, his grandfather is their father, and they have the same three rows of spots that are fairly circular. They have a bleeding of the black, almost like a wash, not nearly as clean as he is, but the pattern is the same. I don't have pictures of them yet, they haven't shed. When they do I'll post some of them.

I'd sure like to know if anyone has seen this before.

Now that's a really cool looking King! The spots do look like a Anaconda pattern though....

Did you come up with the name? Because Kubota's are orange like below... ;-)

I thought I did, but I must have heard it in a dream or something. I had no clue there were Kubota tractors.
 
When I was a kid, I dreamt, I was the maker of M&M's....I was sadly mistaken the next day.....and I don't even like them...go figure!

I bet it was a commercial you heard or saw on tv......or radio. Those orange tractors are everyone nowadays.... ;-) When I first saw the name my first thought was orange...that's how brand strong they are to me. ha!
 
That is a very cool pattern. I'd put that in the category of a "Reverse dotted" king. Yours is one of the very best examples I've seen so far.

That's a cool snake. I'm going to call mine Shui Mo. It's a Chinese form of art. Black ink on white paper, very cool stuff. Have you been able to reproduce those or is that a one off? I got several females this year off a different mother bred to the grandfather of the father of the one I got this year. They are not as cleanly marked, but have the same pattern. I haven't gotten pictures yet, but I will.
 
Wes, THIS IS SO COOL. Seriously. The Symmetry is marvelous! You have made my favorite kingsnake morph ever, I think.

Congrats on such a neat animal. Really excited to see more photos!

That is a cool name for them. That one I posted is my friends king. I've seen a few pictures of similar ones, but of course, no two are identical. I think yours has the most rounded dots (including side pattern) I've ever seen. :thumbsup:
