This beautiful female Amel Imperial is a striking hybrid between a California Kingsnake and a Milk Snake. She is healthy, feeding consistently, and already displaying vibrant orange, red, and cream colouration with excellent contrast and pattern definition for her age. As she matures, her colours are expected to become even richer and more vibrant.
She is currently thriving in a well-established, cluttered 2ft vivarium that provides ample floor space, secure hides, climbing opportunities, enrichment, and a stable thermal gradient. This setup encourages natural behaviours such as exploring, climbing, hiding, burrowing, and effective thermoregulation.

Imperial hybrids combine the bold patterns and hardiness of California Kingsnakes with the vibrant colouration and calm temperament of Milk Snakes, making them attractive, active, and rewarding captives.
