 Pure white kingsnake?..

has anyone one ever heard of or bred a pure white kingsnake with black or blue eyes?..not albino..but true white...i have read somewhere that there is a white MBK..but i haven’t been able to find a picture..are there recessive genes and co-dom genetics with kings?..and would leucistic be a recessive trait?

I saw a white king snake with dark eyes at the Sacramento Reptile Show last week. Unfortunately I was in a hurry to get my Arizona Mtn kings and get back home to do chores, so did not get to explore this further. So there is such an animal; you might ask the folks at Kingsnake.com.

The closest image I have been able to find. I am guessing they just keep breeding until ALL the black is gone.
This is called High White. It is not albino, or even leucistic, I think it is just pretty straight forward breeding like to like until all the black is gone. I wish I could have talked to the vendor who had this snake!
