Of course all kings are muscular but some just seem to be more noticelably ripped. This guy is slender but just pure muscle.

Isn't that a Bob Dylan song? Anyway I like the look of the dark eyes on an albino better than the bright red eyes. Depending on the light they almost appear blue at first.

He seems to be in outstanding condition. What are you feeding him and how often? Also, how do I get mine to do push-ups like that?

He just eats FT mice I get from shows. I do regularly throw supplements in the mice for all my snakes such as probiotics, especially for the couple wild caught animals I have, as elevated levels of stress hormones such as cortisol has been shown to inibit body flora, at least in humans. I also throw some digestive enzymes, omega 3's and some extra minerals from time to time. Human fed mice will not have the same nutritional profile as wild prey. Also who knows what prolonged freezer life does to nutritional content. It's the old if you eat an animal that ate greens high in omega 3 fatty acids, then you'll get alot of highly anti-inflammatory fats in your diet. Whenever I buy live mice I feed them flax seed prior to their final destination. Anyway, I need to go drink a beer and get a whopper with cheese so I have to get going.
