I'm on a quest to build the Biggest King in captivity. I have for years raised up Eastern and Florida Kings from known large stock but haven't really hit on anything with "Monster" size potential. I got this Hernando co. King from a wc gravid female from Daniel Parker(Sunshine Serpents) last summer. He is a 2012 hatch and is 8 months old. Here are his stats over the last 6 months or so. I think he is going to be huge, he eats 2-3 small mice weekly sometimes 4 total. My Pinellas Co., fl Sand King who is growing nicely as well. He is a month younger and his latest measurements are in parentheses below.

9/24/12 56g 22"
12/18 93g 27"
1/3/13 115g 30"
1/14 122g 30"
1/24 156g 32"
2/1 176g 32"
2/11 183g 33"
2/20 205g 33"+ ( Pinellas King 2/20 94g. 25" )
