Interesting about your kingsnake.



I have a friend who does research on spider silk, spinnerets, etc. at a local university. He had been given a BW from a colleague at another univ. who had had her for about two in which time she had mated once. The BW lived in Mark's care for another 2 when she laid an egg sac. She lived another year and produced one more.



In the wild they seem to average a one year life span but, in captivity they seem to survive much longer - as is usually the case with most animals for obvious reasons (predator, toxins, temps, etc.) He has her progeny of a couple generations - grand- or maybe even her great-grand-kids!
