Pic of my female Scarlet King eating a pinky...

She is eating F/T pinks... The male will still only take live pinks (I am not complaining!)

That is some pretty intense white on her!
Do you normally feed her during the day? did it take a while to convert them over to pinks?
mine pretty much feed at night. I hardly ever see them during the day.

I got a pair, 1.1, at a reptile show for $90.00. The female is about 10" and the male is about 8". They were sold to me as N.C. locale.

The male will only eat live pinks and has taken three(then again, I have only had them for 3 weeks).

The female eats frozen pinks. I dropped that pinky at the opening to the hide container you see her in. I stood there just to see what would happen. She looked and flicked her tongue after about 5 seconds and then FLEW to the pink. I was very surprised as they have only eaten during the night before. She did not seem the least bit disturbed by me presence of the flash.

So, I guess I got lucky - if I can get the male to take frozen thawed pinks then I suspect that I will really have something special.

you already have something special, and at a very good price. The female alone is worth that price for a F/T pinkie eater of such nice colors.
