dose my new BMK seem healthy? i know the pics arnt very good. but he is eating amazigly.

you should snap his neck and save on the cost of feeding him, BMK's are suppose to be brown..(bowel movement king?), not black...JUST KIDDING...don't do that!!! A MBK is black. What makes you feel he's unhealthy?

no not THAT one

no i personaly think is is 100% healthy im jus ttrying 2 see if anyone disagrees with that. he also loves being handled ^.^

though your right, it's kind of tough to tell based on these photos. Your snake looks very young and small, so I would just suggest being real careful holding him/her. Let the snake just glide carefully through your hands, using both is best, without letting it fall from height. I learned form experience, and found they can get away from you and also don't like being held too tight and bent in awkward positions. I wouldn't hold it too much, especially after eating or before shedding, since you will just stress it out. Good luck, they're beautiful snakes as they grow larger. Jim

He has this weird blue hue on his belly, lol!

Get a flute, sit down in the floor with your legs crossed, and play to the snake while gently rocking back and forth.

lol good one!

put it in a freezer, wait a few hours, take it out, then it will be still for great pictures, good luck.

you guys are killing me!

thats just wrong... lol

Put a small bowl or cap over it then focus on the bowl, when you have the camera ready lift and shoot the pic.

No he is sick with bluebelly disease and I am an expert on it! You must send it to me immediately and never mention the snake again, for my, I mean, its' own good! Trust me, I see this a lot in MBKs'!
Great looking snake!

It also helps to have a very quick trigger finger, and room on your media/flash card for LOTS of shots!

very very very nice!

Here's a couple of pics of my MBK. I've had him since the beginning of January and I swear he's already put on a couple of inches.

I really need to get some more pics of him as these are kinda old.

Manda,
Ditto here for my male.

He shed last night, and he's grown 6" since September according to my records!

My female is growing WAY slower... she's not quite the garbage disposal the male is!

//Todd

Garbage disposal is a great description for Damien. He does not mess around when it comes to dinner time. My corns will take their time, explore the feeding tub, and in general ignore their dinner. Damien takes all of about a minute to get down to business, he loves dinner time. He'd probably eat every day if I offered. Don't have a female to compare him to though. May have to fix that in the future sometime.
