Now my little Cali king snake ( Sirrey ) is a little bit bigger I've got him a bigger tank and was thinking about partitioning it and getting a MBK and then later breeding the two. After this thought I wondered what the baby's would look like? Has anybody any idea? I thought mostly that it would be a salt and pepper look which would be rather cool! Hope some body can help cause I am seriously thinking about it :) thanks in advance

When you breed anything with an MBK you generally get darkish rather unattractive babies. I personally don't see the point in crossing an MBK with anything except another MBK.

Afraid genetics don't work that way

Quite simply, Don't do it.

There's enough hybrids sold as pure animals as it is. Appreciate the individual species/sub- species for what they are, let's not do anymore damage then what's already been done.
