I found the breeder of my male Arizona Mt. Kingsnake

His breeder is a guy named Chris Baubel. And I was right. He's breeding for less black. I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T...I mean S-M-A-R-T!

Have a look at the pyro on his page. The lessening of the black really cleans up the look of the snake. Look at the babies in the gallery if you like beautiful animals.

2. Aragorn is adorable and remember I am not a

snake fan....

So, why breed the black out of them? To make the stripes more prominent (I know I did not spell that word correctly). That's interesting.
