we will find out if and when the eggs arrive and hatch.
I use 2 males laternated with the females. It wont be hard to figure out if the black male is the sire.

Just out of curiousity, do all your scarlet kings eat in hand or do ya have some stubborn ones?

coolhl7 Apr 29, 2006 04:55 PM

I only tried this one when I first started seeing your photos. since this one was CBB and raised by me out of the egg I wanted it hand tame and feeding it by hand was just a natural progression. I know some dont approve, but its not like its a large constrictor or hot.

Well considering how jittery/timid triangulum are compared to getula, feeding a scarlet king in hand is quite an accomplishment, regardless of the disapprovers.

Awesome! Difficult to switch him to pinks or what?
