Valik - Striped Cal King!

This kid is quickly becoming one of my favourites, and I just got him a few days ago.

His Story:
So I went out to Al's on payday (a HORRIBLE decision from my wallet's perspective) and left with a hypo motley subadult corn. Gorgeous thing, woulda gone great with my snow motley male. I went to get it sexed (cause they won't do it at Al's) and it's a male. :cry: While at the reptile shop where I got him sexed, I spy another hypo motley-stripe corn. Pretty little thing, FEMALE! And only $75! So I picked her up, went back to Al's, and ended up exchanging the hypo motley male for this pretty striped king, and store credit, he was much cheaper than the corn.
He's my first king snake, and I'm loving his pattern, it's near perfect. Looking at him today, I noticed if you look at his whole head pattern, it looks like a smiley face, and if you just look at the smile part, it's heart shaped!

I have a similar looking Cali, except he's got a mickey mouse spot where yours has a heart spot. :) He's a really nice snake too, congrats!
 
Thanks! The best part is, my buddy who works at the place I got him from told me he was a nippy evil little thing. I don't see it. He was quite the opposite when I handled him.
 
Oh, just wait...mine was nippy when I got him (at an expo), and then he was fine at home, at first....now he thinks my fingers are dinner every time I have him out. They are notorious for being bratty (but I wouldn't change mine for the world). Lol.
 
Ohh, we could be in for some fun with him then! He's quickly becoming one of my favourites, and I think I'll only end up liking him more if he does turn into a brat! He'll fit in perfectly with my other pets :p One of my dogs thinks the world revolves around her, one of my cats thinks he's king of the world... -eyeroll-
