New Georgia locality Eastern Kingsnakes

I love these guys. They are 2003 hatch and only a few weeks old. They are half related. They have the same father who is that big Georgia male on my site (Statenville). I got these from Kevin Enge when he stopped over my house on his way camping in the great north woods of Wisconsin.

Do they keep the orange tint in the crossbands? I like the male below too. Are you planning on breeding those in a few years?

Very nice Keith.

Sometimes they do but more times than not it fades . A friend of mine has some adults that he got from Kevin as juveniles a number of years ago and they have retained some orange.

Yours look like that because you live near/in intergration range of the Black Kingsnake L.g.Nigra and the Eastern Kingsnake L.g.Getula. To find the nice fat chain Easterns you have to head down south.

Nice Easterns Dude,

My Georgias are hatching as we speak. I've got a narrow chained black and creme, and a wide chained black and orange out already. 11 more to go (woo-hoo!). Both het albino clutches are out as well and getting ready to shed. I have great diversity within the het clutches, from narrow chained jet black and white individuals that resemble the SC easterns that I've seen, to very wide chained, deep orange snakes that could pass for extreme GA animals. I'll be sending you alot of pics early next week. Later Bud.

PS - the OBK's are doing great, they're eating machines! The NJs are also doing well, they each took a teased pinkie head.
