    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.

    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....

Possible lavender (t+)??

First time for me posting here in the Kingsnake section. This guy is technically my wife's (I'm more interested in boids), but I got him out yesterday to snap a couple pics.

He was sold to us a het for albino (which I have no reason to doubt, since we picked him above 5 or 6 of his clutch-mates which included some nice albinos). After a few sheds, we started noticing he was looking a bit translucent. He's actually continued to get lighter as he has grown, as well.

Other than just showing him off, I was wanting to get others' opinions on him. Instead of a just a het, it certainly looks to me like he's actually a rather dark lavender (or t+). These pictures kind of show his translucence, but as usual his colors aren't very accurate. Instead of the brown shade he appears below, he's more of a violet shade. A couple months ago I managed to catch a glimpse of his pupil in bright light before his iris contracted and it was a dark ruby red. I wish I would have gotten pictures, but it's pretty hard to catch.

Anyways, what are your opinions on him? Does he look like a dark t+ to you? Have you ever seen one this shade?

Thanks.

It could be a strain of hypo/lavender T+ or sometimes multi hets will have this same look. Usually ones that are het for both albino and lavender.
 
He's definitely not a normal. I'm not an expert on CK morphs, but I would say he's probably a hypo. I know that their are several strains of hypo CK, and some of them look like that.
