About
This morph has historically been known as the John Ruiz lavender.
History
In the late 70’s, reptile enthusiast Bill Corwin had a friend that wanted to see some snake eggs hatch. Bill decided to give him a clutch of eggs from a pair of Cal kings he found in the Agoura Hills area, but asked to get pick of the litter. His friend agreed and took the eggs. One day Bill gets a call and his friend notifies him the clutch is starting to hatch and one of the kings that’s piping is a lot lighter than the others. Bill didn’t think much of it until his friend told him it had red eyes. Two hypos ended up hatching from that clutch and both were males. Bill kept one and his friend kept the other. Later down the line, Bill’s friends sold his hypo to John Ruiz, who in turn made this morph available to the public.
On a side note, Bill Corwin has seen pictures of this strain and believes they are darker than the ones he had in the 70’s. Possibly they have darkened up from all the years of out crossing that has taken place since the 70’s.
