The pattern on that one is beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Another thing that's obvious is that my hand feeding pictures will never be as impressive as yours are because I lack the tatoos.

I love that one. What is it? My first thought is some kind of milksnake. I wanted to say a mountain kingsnake, but I don't think of them having that much red or red bands that wide. I guess it could be a thayeri because they can look like anything, but I think of them as having thinner bands like the mountain kingsnakes. I don't want to get another kingsnake just yet, but I may feel the need to jump at adding to my collection before the ban goes into effect. I'd think about any of those as my next snake.

Thanks,

Bill

Is that what is called a Sinolan ? Do you prefer them to handling over CA kings?

JETZEN Apr 12, 2006 08:44 PM

Sinaloans are way more jittery than cals, and like them about the same.

All very nice. I read the mt kings could be hard to feed not for a novice who only has 2 snakes and no access to lizards but love them as like the "smallish" colorful snakes.

fighterpilot Apr 12, 2006 07:55 PM

the cal mtn king eats like a pig. He eats 2-3 pinkies or 1-2 fuzzies a week. i have 14 snakes 15 is my limit for now more than that is hard to feed with the small suplie of mice i have so far, the mice have about 20-30 babies every week and a half to 2 weeks.

9 cal kings
1 cal mtn king
1 AZ mnt king
1 knoblochi
1 splendita
1 garter snake

Jeanin Apr 13, 2006 03:48 PM

oh wow he does eat well. I noticed CA kings seem to be your favorite as you have lots of them.

xbertmouser Apr 12, 2006 06:39 AM

KenCasstevens Apr 12, 2006 01:50 AM

Wow! That's got to be one of the best looking cal kings I've seen in a long time.

Thanks Ken! He's an '05 that I got from Tom Stevens. Hope he has a good attitude. Here's his sib and a John Cherry female, all '05's.
