Nice looking kid!! Looks like he could cause some mischief. Great snake as well, I didn't know they got that big. All I've ever seen is what's available at shows here in VA ( yearling size at most)!!

I have never seen a GBK that big! What are you feeding it? KIDS? That is huge! Derek

I always wanted a GBK, because of their beauty. The only thing that stopped me was they don't get that big, normally around 3-3 1/2. I tend to like the larger snakes. I've seen pictures of your graybands. You got some of the best I've ever seen. I'm assuming yours is larger than normal?

BTW, cute kid!

Thanks for the compliments!

The male I have pictured is with out a doubt the largest Alterna I have ever seen.. In general most Alterna do not get that large...

For size comparison.. The alterna phase male on my son's neck (bottom pic) is a more average sized proven breeder..

I think I saw a "Mike Russo" in the credits of The Sopranos.
Was that you?

Excellent pics. Always love to see kids & herps. Here's a couple of my daughter. One holding an Axanthic brooks, and the other an 06 Woma.
