A pic of my c.b. 04 Acadia Parish,Louisiana holbrooki.

Thanks,shes one of my favorite kings. She has eaten 15 het. albino ruthveni this year that unfortunateley wouldn't eat no matter what I tried,skinks,anoles,dead pinkies,live pinkies. I think those ruthveni have done wonders for her complexion. LOL I do however have 5 het. ruthveni that are thriving and are 14 inches each. I fed my baby speckled kings baby albino ruthveni that weren't eating either and their poop was glowing orange. Anybody ever have that happen? The coral red albino came out the orangest on the other end. Sorry if I offended anyone with snake eating.

I'm not offended, most snake lovers know that it's natural for some snakes to eat snakes. One question please, after your snakes eat a certain amount of snakes do they tend to snub rodents. thanks in advance.

My adult speckled kings hop right back over to rodents,but the younger ones usually snub their nose at the first attempt to feed mice after feeding snakes for awhile. Kevin

Really nice speck! I like the cream colored ones, as we don't see them down here too much...at all!

Thanks,she is in shed right now and is actually bright yellow. Her belly is not as yellow as the one you have,nice. I would like to get some with the red bellies. Kevin

Most of the ones down here start off with red bellies but fade to yellow. Some hold an orange "sidewall" though.

Thats an awesome snake! That one held its colors well. Someone in Alabama sent me a picture of an adult Alabama speckled king and the whole belly was bright red with screaming yellow spots on the top and sides. It looked so perfect that I thought it might be a altered photo,but the guy said thats typical coloring on Alabama holbrooki. I lost the picture with my old computer. Kevin Fisher

Thanks, unfortunately she passed this last winter but we have 2.2 05's to start over with.
