In his 2009 book, " Common Kingsnakes, A Natural History of Lampropeltis getula ", Brian Hubbs includes a list of more than 30 prominent aberrant color patterns found in California Kingsnakes. The morph names used here are mostly based on this book. The range map shown to the left shows in dark blue the approximate location where most of the The California kingsnake, Lampropeltis getulus californiae, exhibits polymorphic variation in color pattern inherited in simple Mendelian fashion.
