I had some older photos of my easterns in the below thread with all the chain king pics. Here are some updated pics I took tonight. I've noticed that their chain pattern is turning a brighter white after each shed. First two pics are the female, last pic is the male. Steve

All I have to say is wow... always been a fan of easterns but those are outstanding...

Cool. Does that chain pattern continue on the bottom of the snake? Or is that more of a solid white?

The chain patterns on both my male & female mine continue on down to the ventral area. A friend of mine (wiesma2297) does happen to have a Va. Beach Eastern king with solid white on the ventral area. If he reads this thread, he might post a pic of her.

Very nice Steve,

If I were out shopping for chain kings, that's exactly what I'd be looking for.

Howie without a doubt has some of the nicest Pungo Ridge easterns. he has a male we simply refer to as "ten" becasue he's perfect, which really says something becasue even Gerry Ryan is only 7 of 9!

And every time I see how nice the neonates are developing I wish I held some over for me. "Ten" is the dad for the eastern king pictured, by the way, and is pushing 5 and 1/2 feet in length. Steve, I knew they would turn out special the day you cherry picked them, as those were the ones I was considering holding over. Can't knock your good taste.

Howie, I take it that was the dad "Ten" I was holding the day Ralph & I was at your house picking out snakes? No doubt he's an impressive animal. Next time I'm bringing my camera.

yup! dat was de one!(or should i say ten)

Good Gosh!
That is such a killer snake! Howie's animals never fail to impress.
I have never heavily considered getting an eastern but pics like that do damage to that plan!

That male is pretty close to my idea of the perfect Eastern king. Jet-black, clean white, non-aberrant pattern.
