What morph is my snake?

This is my California kingsnake. I don't like the kingsnake forums I found because they are so unorganized. I love the cornsnakes forums! But anyways, can anybody tell me my snake's morph/pattern? Thank you!

It's striped.

Be aware that the pattern mutations of the Cali King are not simple recessive traits. They are line-bred aberrations. In other words...breeding a "stripe" to a "stripe" will not always produce 100% stripes. Being aberrant by nature means that the pattern will fluctuate and vary greatly...

Who did you get this king from? It *might* be a locality, which doesn't mean much to some people, but means a lot to those that are working them...

Just to add to Tyflier's great post- try and look for the term "Polygenic". This term pretty much describes all pattern related morphs in L.Getula Californiea
