Those are so nice looking. Just wondering, do you also keep other types of kings or are the Grey Bands your specialty and perhaps favorite of them all? How do they compare to the others in your opinion, from a pet keeping standpoint. Thanks. Jim

in your collection, including the Splendida and Thayeri (oops). I guess the Grey Bands are more like the Thayeri in size and mannerisms? Just curious as I'm interested in obtaining another snake and am wide-open as to the type. Been doing some research on those I don't know as much about. Jim

Hey Jim, thanks for looking man. Grey Bands and Thayeri I would say are very much alike as far as size and persoanlity, both very laid back snakes, in my experience. both super fun to work with too. i also have always like splendida so i figuered i would start alittle project with them too. as far as what snake to get next its all about what you like, and with grey bands make sure you get one that is well started, and from a good source, i got mine from a guy that hatched the babies out in 05 and would sell them till 06 just to make sure that they were going to be on the right track, and also he started them feeding on unscented pinkies too, not lizards which can be harder to do. if you want i can give you a few names and places to check out, send me an email if you want
have a good one
