Cal King or MBK?

Geckofanatic23 Dec 10, 2006 01:53 AM

Hi everyone, I'm going to be able to expand my snake collection by one animal, and I'm having a tough time deciding on what species I want. I've completely fallen for kings and milks, and want only them for now on, they're the best! Right now, I'm looking at a Cal king or MBK. Do you guys have any opinions on which is better? Are there any care differences between the two? Thanks for your input!

same exact care.

There's a hell of a lot of variation out there in Cal Kings.
There's not a lot of variation in MBKs - but if MBK was a Cal King, it would be one of the prettiest.

Take a look around at some of the Cal King morphs. And don't forget to look at Brooksi as well :D

Try one of each, they are inexpensive and both can make great additions to your collection. I have 4 mbk's and 3 cal kings. Don't see enough normal striped cal kings here!

I have two MBK's and Three Cal Kings and I would have to say that I enjoy both. They are pretty much the exact same care wise so whatever you think is prettier, like someone said earlier, is what you should go with
