Wanted WANTED: ★ Striped Coastal-Phase (chocolate and yellow) Cali Kings! ★

[Pink Lady Exotics]

I am still on the search for striped coastal phase California kingsnakes, which are the chocolate brown and yellow variety. If you have the Carlsbad locale line, even better -- I used to have a pure Carlsbad coastal pair with perfect stripes, and unfortunately lost them when I lost my collection to paramyxovirus several years ago. It still kills me every day. I am trying to find more like them without much luck. This was the pair I had and is what I am looking for again:

I'm also interested in other locales like San Diego, Elfin Forest, Oceanside, etc. Coastals are not as common as desert phases (black/white and black/cream), and most kings with yellow markings are not pure. But I'm hoping to get lucky. I may be interested in banded coastals, depending on the individual animal. I also may be interested in a black one if it has extremely yellow striping. Must have clean sides, no side pattern. Here are some more examples of what I'm looking for:

CBB, CH, WC, doesn't matter. If you want to go herping and find some WC for me, I'm all for it. Looking for both genders, any ages.

Please e-mail me at [email protected] . When contacting me, please include clear pictures, full info on the animal(s), and what price you are asking -- please do not just say "make an offer", I'm not interested in haggling or bidding.

Hoping to get lucky and find my dream coastals again! Thanks!

Kerby Ross produced the 2 you had. He might have some normal stripes this year but his page isn't updated yet.

Yep, that's who I bought them from. He sold off the Carlsbad project after I bought them. :-(
