Kingsnake Morph

Kingsnake Morph

Snake

Kingsnakes are a type of colubrid snake that are members of the Lampropeltis genus, which also includes the milk snake along with another four species and 45 sub-species.

Clever genetic manipulation is responsible for a wide variety of colors and patterns in modern snake breeding. In zoology these differences are known as morphs and are genetic mutations causing departures from the normal or "wild" type and appearance. One generally doesn't find large physical differences in morphs but color and pattern variations can be quite vast and amazing.
