They are gorgeous and I wouldnt mind having one like it if I had more room and time. I'm not sure if there would be any difference in price. I could also be very wrong with my guess as to what they are as I am not very experienced with kings. Corns have been more my thing up til now. I just couldn't find any alternative version of an MBK other than a solid black one when I looked on google.
I'm not sure where else you could take them to find out. You could go back to wharf and just tell them that someone had questioned that they were aberant MBKs and that you couldn't find anything other than black MBKs online, see what they say. |

Im not 100% sure on this as the snakes are a bit small in the photos, but they look like they could be goins kingsnakes to me but dont take my word for it.
AS kd has said will be worth going back to the shop and finding out what they know about these snakes.

Hi, just had info from pet shop i got snakes from...
They say,
"Hi, your Mexican black king snake is an 'aberrant' - so a divergence from the normal uniform black kingsnakes with yellow markings. Both the parents to this snake are 'normal'. Aberrant markings are common in kingsnakes. This is often called a 'desert phase' of the Mexican black."
Does this make any sense?? |

"Deseert phrase" and abbrant are a fancy way to say your snake is mbk cross another type of king such as a cali for example. They are not pure mbk or any special type of markinsg, just two different species of kings. I would question what they ment by normal king though! Normal cali, speckly kings
You may indeed find it hard to pass off their offspring as they are not a pure mbk or any other form of king. |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

as above, desert phase mbk means nothing to me, I am pretty sure these are integrades.
Abbarent markings are normal in kingsnakes, I have 1. But you cannot get an abbarent snake that naturally has a solid colour such as the MBK. |

Hi, Just want to update everyone on my Kings. They are doing well, not so skinny now. Ive uploaded some new photographs of the female. She is now taking bigger mice (next from fuzzy). Her brother is still taking fuzzys but I feel he may take smaller of the next size up! I have some lovely skins from my snakes sheds! Was great to actually sit and watch one shed!
Photos are at below link.
