Newborn kings will be listed immediately following their first voluntary meal of f/t extra-small pinky mice from rodentpro.com (using the deli cup method). They are then fed in their small cages every Wednesday thereafter. If you are not an experienced keeper of newborn kings, we recommend you wait until they are at least eight weeks old to purchase one. By then they will have fed several times.

'Leonis Phase' Nuevo Leon Kingsnake (Lampropeltis leonis)

aka Variable or Thayer's Kingsnake. Found in Tamaulipas, Mexico, this is another lovely small member of the "mexicana" or "gray-band" complex. Most adults average only 24-30 inches in length, although specimens may achieve 36 inches. Extremely variable, and stunningly attractive. Most "leonis" phase have thin orangish or reddish bands on a ground color of tannish gray. Exceptional specimens may have the colors enhanced to yellow, peach, pale orange, or even very intense bright orange, and no two are ever identical, even among siblings.

'Milksnake Phase' Nuevo Leon Kingsnake (Lampropeltis leonis)

aka Variable or Thayer's Kingsnake. Often abbreviated as MSP. Found in Tamaulipas, Mexico, this is another lovely small member of the "mexicana" or "gray-band" complex. Most adults average only 24-30 inches in length, although specimens may achieve 36 inches. Extremely variable, "milksnake" phase specimens have very wide reddish bands in triads. Ground colors may range from grays through tans, peach, or pale orange, and no two specimens are ever identical, even among siblings. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Mexican Black Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae var. nigrita)

Very solid black snakes as adults. Perhaps the best pet kingsnake for beginners. Camera flash often reflects off the scales, causing them to look speckled in photos. Ours are flawless shiny jet black, with just tiny traces of white under the chin or neck on a few. Click here to learn more/see adults.

High White California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

A gorgeous selectively bred morph derived orginally from crossing Newport genes into BW Desert specimens. The amounts of white are greatly increased, with only the faintest traces of the middorsal stripe remaining. Unbelievable. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Albino High White California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

Homozygous for amelanism, a recessive trait. The albino version of the High White is simply stunning! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Extreme High-White Banded California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

Clean Black and White Banded Cal Kings have long been prized by collectors. Almost immediately breeders went to work selecting and refining to increase the amount of white. Our breeders were selected from among the best of these! Click here to learn more/see adults.

We've nearly sold out of 2020 Kingsnakes, thanks to all our valued customers!

We expect to hatch even more of them again in 2021, and they should start appearing on the site in July and August. Watch for them then!

Albino Arizona Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis p. pyromelana)

Lovely genetically pure amelanistic albino pyros, what more needs said? We'll be out-crossing and working with hets on these initially, both to create new looks and to strengthen the line. Click here to learn more/see adults.

'Baubel' Arizona Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis p. pyromelana)

Breeder Chris Baubel has been carefully line-breeding stock from the Santa Rita Mountains for some years to reduce the amount of black present. The result is snakes almost midway in appearance between normal and 'Applegate'. Startlingly attractive. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Reverse Stripe California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

California Kings are commonly found with dark sides and a full length light middorsal stripe. Careful selection over several geneartions has created snakes exactly the opposite - white sides with a full length black stripe.

'Baubel' Arizona Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis p. pyromelana)

Breeder Chris Baubel has been carefully line-breeding stock from the Santa Rita Mountains for some years to reduce the amount of black present. The result is snakes almost midway in appearance between normal and 'Applegate'. Startlingly attractive. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Durango Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis greeri)

Inhabiting mountainous terrain in the Mexican state of Durango, this member of the "mexicana" or "gray-band" complex stays small. Most adults average 30-36 inches in length at best. Stunningly attractive, they are very similar to L. pyromelana forms in terms of care, right down to the difficulties involved in getting hatchlings to feed on mice. However, once established, they thrive and are very popular with skilled keepers. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Long Beach Hypermelanistic California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

For years, Long Beach area herpers frequented a few acres of undeveloped land dominated by grease pits and oil wells amidst area homes and businesses. While not common, California Kingsnakes could be found there and are affectionately known to keepers as "Grease Kings". Interestingly, most were very dark snakes with very thin white bands almost obscured by black. Named Hypermelanistic, this look is the result of a recessive gene and already breeders are combining it with other mutations to create some stunning new morphs. Sadly, this tiny site has now been developed into a city park and the fate of any remaining snakes is in doubt. A handful of breeders are working to maintain pure lines of them for posterity.

Mosaic California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae)

Specimens of the California Kingsnake found in the vicinity of Newport are highly prized by collectors for their lovely abberant patterning. Polygenic in nature, no two are ever alike. Breeders have further refined this look by crossing out to desert white forms and striving for banded sides with a solid black back to create the gorgeous and unique Mosaic Cal King. Speciemns with two copies of this unique gene are fully striped with wide black backs and are called 'Super Mosaics'. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Albino Whitewall Speckled Kingsnake (Lampropeltis holbrooki)

Homozygous for Whitewall and Albino, two recessive mutations. With a line of Albino Speckled kings already established in the hobby, it was inevitable that it be combined with the newer Whitewall mutation. Good thing, as they are surprisingly beautiful (although the subtle nature of the golds and yellows is hard to capture in photographs) Click here to learn more/see adults.

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen, and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, most are taken inside a standard 8oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated as time permits.

Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

• F021-01M indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).
• F021-01M indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed as F021- are from the same clutch.
• F021-01M indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F would the third female from that clutch.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.

CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.

WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.

LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of capture. Applies only to WC animals, indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very well established.

50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous for the listed trait.
