 What type of king snake is he?

I’ve had my king snake since June but he’s been at the pet store I work at for nearly a year before that. He was labeled as being a banded California king snake, which he is obviously not. Can anyone tell me what morph he is?
Thanks!

Well he / she is a Cali King...And from what I have seen it appears to be a stripe ...the shots you posted were rather close up and tight, need more of a full length.

A striped king is where the dark color is the stripe... and a reverse stripe is where the white makes the stripe.

So if I am right (correct me someone) you have a reverse stripe Calif King.... is the stripe broken ..complete.. ???

It’s broken. He almost looks like a banana but his pattern doesn’t exactly match up. I will try to get better pictures of him up tomorrow.
Thanks!

Hard to tell from the pics you have posted. It’s a reverse striped cali king, definitely not a banded. It might be a banana if the light color is more yellow than white. Chances are you might have to consider your snake aberrant.
