Big florida king pics?

varanid Apr 24, 2010 03:20 PM

Anyone got any photos of truly gigantic florida kings? I've seen one or two on here before. I keep hoping one of mine hits the 6' mark. No idea how big the parents were. But it'd be neat!

Mine are growing like weeds and I can't wait to move them into the CB70 rack in another month or so.

Here is one I saw at an Orlando Expo when they were still at the
Twin Towers. This has to be at least 15 years old and this young man is probably married with kids by now1 When I saw it I just had to take a picture of it. Don't really know how long it is but He said He fed it 2 or 3 Rats a week!

Yeah, that is quite the "Andre the Giant" male of the brooksi world!

I liked when the show was at the Twin Towers with the several big ground level rooms myself! But Daytona is a bit easier to get to from where I am at.

Thanks for sharing that monster pic!

This guy passed away 2-3 years ago and these pics are about 5 years old, he was big when he died. Wasn't very old, just died randomly.

Damn nice snake right there that boy looks thick! I'm usually not a big fan of hypo's in general, but that one has some nice color.
