Many are very dark brown......especially those that have some remnant desert king pattern. Solid colored ones are very rare in the wild. In captivity they have been line bred to produce more solid colored/patternless snakes.

Many believe MBKs are just melanistic splendida, but Burbrink et al lumped them with californiae, which many of us think is absurd!
